Question

Read the excerpt from "Youth Activism and Animal "Rights.” In addition to traditional events like bake sales and car washes, young activists have raised money through more creative means. Many use special occasions, such as birthdays and bar or bat mitzvahs, to ask their friends and families to donate money to animal rights, rather than give gifts. Why does the author most likely include these details?
-to illustrate that young activists pressure others to donate money
-to show that young activists are more generous than non-activists
-to emphasize the dedication and generosity of young activists
-to highlight that young activists are irresponsible with money

Answer 1

-to emphasize the dedication and generosity of young activists

C.

Answer 2

The best answer is:
-to emphasize the dedication and generosity of young activists

The fact that young activists use their birthdays or bar/bat miztvahs, occasions when they would generally receive many gifts and money, as opportunities to acquire donations for their causes, demonstrates their generosity and willing to personally sacrifice for their cause.
