Question

which sentence best provides evidence for the writers argument that things are improving for marginalized groups?

• the virtual event was organized out of frustration at the postponement of the 2020 united nations climate change conference, also called cop26, meeting between nations.
• habu and others who have personally experienced the worst effects of climate change took center stage at a two - week summit for young climate activists.
• it was declared lost in 2016 after it fully submerged beneath the water, a victim of rising sea levels.
• in a year dominated by pandemic - related disruptions, the mock cop26 may be one of the largest international meetings focused on climate change—even if it lacked official status.

Explanation:

To support the argument that conditions are improving for marginalized groups, we need evidence of marginalized voices gaining prominence or support. Young climate activists (a historically marginalized group in climate policy spaces) taking center stage at a summit shows their increased visibility and influence, which indicates improvement for their group. The other options discuss event logistics, a negative climate impact, or a mock conference, none of which demonstrate progress for marginalized groups.

Answer:

Habu and others who have personally experienced the worst effects of climate change took center stage at a two-week summit for young climate activists.
