Question

1. part b: which detail from the text best supports the answer to part a?

a. \when we think of islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world.\ (paragraph 5)

b. \america counts millions of muslims amongst our citizens, and muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country\ (paragraph 6)

c. \in our anger and emotion, our fellow americans must treat each other with respect.\ (paragraph 6)

d. \that’s not the america i know. that’s not the america i value.\ (paragraph 7)

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the answer to Part A (likely about respecting or valuing diversity/Muslims in America) and find the supporting detail:

• Option A talks about Islam’s comfort globally, not specific to America’s context of Part A (if Part A was about American society).
• Option B states Muslims are valuable contributors to America, which supports a claim about their positive role in the US (matching a Part A answer about inclusion/value of Muslims in America).
• Option C is about treating Americans with respect generally, not specific to Muslims.
• Option D is a statement about America’s values, not a detail supporting a claim about Muslims’ role.

Answer:

B. "America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country" (Paragraph 6)
