Inference is a logical conclusion based on the information provided, while generalization takes that conclusion and applies it to other similar situations. Based on those definitions, we can determine if each of the statements is a rasonable generalization or not.
"The sibling rivalry is due to the arrival of a newborn baby in the house" is neither an inference nor a generalization. There is no indication in the text of a new baby.
"The speaker is from a large family" cannot be inferred either, as the narrator only mentions one sibling.
"The speaker loves the brother" is a fair inference based on the text. The narrator mentions that her brother means the world to her, so this statement is a logical conclusion.
"The brother gets into trouble often" is not a reasonable inference nor generalizatino. The only information provided is that he insists on reading his sister's diary.
"The speaker believes others feel the same way as the speaker about their diaries" <em>is the only </em><em>reasonable generalization</em>. The narrator assumes that by telling her brother her diary is boring, he won't want to read it. That he is only interested in knowing her secrets. Therefore, she thinks others view diaries the same way she does.
The correct option is this: THEY ARE IMPRISONED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE FAIR.
Christian is a pilgrimage on his way to a celestial city called mount Zion and he and his companion, known as Faithful have to pass through the city of Vanity Fair. They were forewarned about the city by a man called Evangelist. When they got to the Vanity Fair city, the two travelers attended the town's famous fair but they refused to fall into temptations thrown at them, because of this, the two were imprisoned by the citizens of the town.<span />
Last sentence: 'earning their creators...' should be 'its creators'. and 'our intended landing point' should be its intended landing point.
Also, you might want to consider whether the last sentence borders on being a run-on, and whether breaking it into two sentences might not enhance readability.

Explanation:
Passive language (or passive voice) is when the noun (or noun phrase) that should be the object appears at the subject.
"<em>The role of Social Media on the Arab uprisings</em>" is a study that analyzes the level of influence that the use of Internet and social media served as effective tools for organizing and planning the protests, while providing awareness to the outside world regarding what was really happening during the Arab Spring, a movement that started in late 2010 as a response to oppressive regimes.
The Options that sustain the claim are the following:
- “Networks formed on line were crucial in organizing a core group of activists, specifically in Egypt.”
- “Civil society leaders in Arab countries emphasized the role of ‘the Internet, mobile phones, and social media’ in the protests.”
- “Additionally, digital media has been used by Arabs to exercise freedom of speech and as a space for civic engagement.”
