Question

read the excerpt from \the girl who silenced the world for five minutes.\
parents should be able to comfort their children by saying, \everythings going to be alright,\ \were doing the best we can,\ and \its not the end of the world.\
but i dont think you can say that to us anymore. are we even on your list of priorities?
the purpose of suzukis question is to challenge listeners to
○ think of how their actions affect their children.
○ think of new sayings to comfort their children.
○ spend more quality time with their children.
○ spend more time comforting their children.

Explanation:

The excerpt shows a child questioning the validity of parents' comforting sayings. Suzuki's question aims to make listeners reflect on how their actions (like using such sayings) impact their children, rather than just the time spent or new sayings. So the correct option is about thinking how actions affect children.

Answer:

A. think of how their actions affect their children
