Question

my cousins attention to the environment has always been strong, but lately, her actions border on fanaticism or unreasonable devotion. last month, she stopped talking to anyone who uses any plastic or chemicals—and left angry signs at their doors—that fanaticism or over - the - top support for a cause is just too much. we all want to protect our planet, but her fanaticism or extreme enthusiasm goes beyond generally acceptable social behavior.
quiz: what is an example of fanaticism?
a. jenny spends fifteen minutes every day cleaning her room.
b. james spends almost every minute of his day telling people to recycle.
c. david spends half of his weekly allowance and saves the other half.

Explanation:

The context describes fanaticism as unreasonable devotion or over - the - top support for a cause that goes beyond generally acceptable social behavior. Option b shows James spending almost every minute of his day telling people to recycle, which is an extreme and perhaps excessive behavior (similar to the cousin's extreme environmental actions described in the context). Option a (cleaning room for 15 minutes daily) is a normal routine. Option c (managing allowance) is a normal financial behavior.

Answer:

B. James spends almost every minute of his day telling people to recycle.
