Answer 1

Swarbrick is young compared with other parliamentarians, and she feels that the older generation cannot understand the threat of global warming.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given passage is from the text titled "OK, boomer, " retorts lawmaker to heckler during climate change meeting .

It tells about Chlöe Swarbrick's speech in the New Zealand Parliament. Bringing the attention of the rest of the parliament to an important issue, climate change, she mentions her age, emphasizing that it will be the younger generations who will be dealing with the consequences of global warming, not most of the members of the parliament, who will no longer be its members in a couple of decades. They do not understand the threat of global warming, which is why they are not paying attention to it, despite the fact they should.

This is why the third option is the correct one.
