1. north american countries are wasteful.
2. the waste comes from fear of losing wealth.
3. needy people live without the things they need.

based on the facts listed on the left, what does severn suzuki most likely think should change?
○ south american countries should begin wasting.
○ north american countries should help people in need.
○ needy people should take advantage of these fears.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• First option: The facts focus on North American waste and needy people, not promoting waste in South America. Eliminate.
• Second option: North American countries are wasteful (from fear of losing wealth) while needy people lack resources. Logically, changing this would involve North American countries using their resources to help those in need. This aligns with the context.
• Third option: The facts highlight waste from fear, not suggesting needy people exploit that fear. Eliminate.

Answer:

North American countries should help people in need.
