Question

why does the author include this sentence? select one: a. to show how malala became interested in reading and writing b. to describe how malalas school operated under the taliban c. to explain why malala kept speaking out even when it was dangerous d. to compare malalas beliefs to her mothers experiences

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The question is about the author's purpose for a sentence, likely not about Malala's interest in reading/writing (no context suggests that here).
• Option B: Describing school operation under Taliban is not the likely purpose without context of the sentence being about school operations.
• Option C: Malala is known for speaking out despite danger (e.g., for girls' education). If the sentence relates to her motivation to speak out even when dangerous, this fits.
• Option D: Comparing her beliefs to mother's experiences is not a common theme without specific context, and the other options are less relevant.

Assuming the sentence relates to her courage to speak out, C is the best choice.

Answer:

C. to explain why Malala kept speaking out even when it was dangerous
