Read this excerpt from "The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes." I'm only a child, yet I know we are all part of a family, five billion strong, in fact, thirty million species strong, and we all share the same air, water, and soil – borders and governments will never change that. I'm only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal. Why does Suzuki think people should "act as one single world"?

Answer:

D. We all live on the same planet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Severn Suzuki offered a very powerful speech in which she challenged the older members of the society to avoid the divisions and disunity they have created through governments and borders to come together and fix the problems that beset us all. Suzuki thinks this way because we all live on the same planet and it is only when people are united by acting as one single world that they would be able to overcome the environmental challenges that have befallen us.

These problems include the holes created in our solar systems, the deforestations, pollutions, lack of food in some parts of the world, and every other factor that affects us today and which would negatively impact future generations. She believes that we are all one family and should avoid wars among us so that we can be united in purpose.
