Question

read the following sentences from the text.
\a lot of graffiti artists risk their safety to create art because it is still illegal in many countries. graffiti artists take this risk to express issues affecting their community. some topics of their art include injustice, the wealth gap between the rich and poor, and human rights abuses.\
as used in this excerpt, what does the word \express\ most closely mean?
a run away from
b give a speech about
c research or study
d let people know about

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "express" in the excerpt, we analyze the context: graffiti artists create art to convey community issues (injustice, wealth gap, human rights abuses). Let's evaluate each option:

• Option A: "run away from" is irrelevant to conveying issues. Eliminate.
• Option B: "give a speech about" implies a verbal, formal address, but graffiti art is a visual form of communication, not typically a speech. Eliminate.
• Option C: "research or study" involves investigating, not conveying. Eliminate.
• Option D: "let people know about" aligns with the idea of communicating or making others aware of community issues through art. This matches the context of graffiti artists sharing these topics via their work.

Answer:

D. let people know about
