Answer:
A.
Explanation:
'Why Afghanistan’s ‘Underground Girls’ Skirt Tradition to Live as Boys' is an interview taken by NPR of Jenny Nordberg, who wrote about <em>bacha posh</em> in Afghanistan. The central idea presented in the text is that by making girls dressed as boys, girls and women in Afghanistan are more oppressed and controlled.
The statement that best supports this central idea is statement from paragraph 1, <em>"They can’t leave the house alone; they’re not educated; and they’re dressed in clothes that conceal them." </em>By concealing the true identity of girls in childhood, the society of Afghanistan tend to control them.
Therefore, option A is correct.
Thomas Paine counters the opinion of some people that America had existed as such a developed country only because of the British rule, and that it should therefore remain British, so as to keep developing and becoming better.
The correct answer for the given statement above would be option C. A clause used as the object of a preposition is called a noun clause. The object of the preposition will always be a noun. Therefore, the only clause that is also used as the object of a preposition is only the noun clause.
