Question

read the final three paragraphs of the article. what is most likely the reason why the author chooses to conclude the article with these paragraphs? (a) to illustrate problems in other countries that the australian climate - related case resolves through its historic ruling (b) to illustrate how the paris agreement and recent international cases affected the australian federal court ruling (c) to contrast the advances made in the australian case with the failures of other international cases in holding governments accountable (d) to give examples of how other countries are taking action to address climate change and to hold governments accountable

Explanation:

The final three - paragraphs likely aim to show international context related to climate - change action and government accountability. Option A focuses only on problems resolved by the Australian ruling, which may be too narrow. Option B is mainly about influences on the Australian ruling, not the overall purpose of the conclusion. Option C emphasizes contrast with failures, while the conclusion may be more about showing positive actions in other countries. Option D best captures the likely purpose of giving examples of other countries' actions to address climate change and hold governments accountable.

Answer:

D. to give examples of how other countries are taking action to address climate change and to hold governments accountable
