Question

Read these last two paragraphs from the article.



That's powerful, people! Mothers can be healthier. Young girls have more time to go to school. Forests grow again. People can feed themselves without risking their lives to cook a meal.



That's what we can accomplish by providing clean cookstoves and fuels. And that's a simple act that can change the world for years and years to come.



Which statement most effectively states the claim the author makes in these paragraphs?

Question 5 options:

If people would come together to try to find the best solution, the problems of the environment could be solved in one generation.


Cleaner cooking stoves will increase the education level of young girls, giving them more control over their lives.


Each person is responsible for the environment, even if only through a small action such as using a different type of stove.


Cleaner cooking stoves are so important that they can change people's entire lives and save a large part of the environment.

Answer 1

I’m not 100 percent sure, but I think it’s the third option (the first option mentions the author thinks this’ll be solved in one generation which isn’t in the text. The second option makes sense, but it isn’t the bigger picture of what the author is trying to say. Same goes for option 4.)

Answer 2

The best claim the author makes is about the responsibility of each person towards keeping the environment healthy through small contributions. Thus, option C is correct.

What is a claim?

An assertion made on a topic matter is called a claim.  A claim can be made on the context provided in the informative texts. It asserts and declares the subject matter that can be supported by the evidence.

In the article, the author talks about nature, the environment, pollution, causes, and their effects. The writer talks about solving problems in a single generation in the first option, which makes it incorrect.

In options b and d the large and clear idea is not expressed. On the other hand, the third option asserts how a single step from an individual can change the environment and can be beneficial.

Therefore, option C. the small steps from an individual can contribute to the environment is correct to claim.
