Question

read the excerpt from \the girl who silenced the world for five minutes.\ at school, even in kindergarten, you teach us to behave in the world. you teach us... not to hurt other creatures. to share – not be greedy. then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do? suzuki most likely includes this question in her speech to ask listeners to remember what is taught in kindergarten. encourage listeners to remember their own kindergarten classes. challenge listeners to think about how they act in the world. make listeners feel good about how children in the world are taught.

Explanation:

The excerpt is from a speech where the speaker (Suzuki) is questioning the discrepancy between what is taught in kindergarten (behave well, not hurt others, share) and how adults act in the world. The question is about why she includes this question in her speech. The option "challenge listeners to think about how they act in the world" aligns with this - she's prompting listeners to reflect on their actions compared to kindergarten teachings. Other options: "ask listeners to remember kindergarten" is too surface - level; "encourage listeners to remember their own kindergarten classes" is not the main point; "make listeners feel good about how children in the world are taught" is incorrect as she's highlighting a problem, not making them feel good.

Answer:

The option "challenge listeners to think about how they act in the world" (the third option in the list of choices, based on the visible text and context).
