Explanation:

In her Diary of a Teenage Refugee, Amira who is just 16 years old, tells of her life living in a refugee camp during the civil war in Syria. She, along with her family members, had escaped the war torn village and had illegally sneaked to another country to escape the war.

In her entry about life in the camps, she mentions how the camp was almost already full, with many tents already made up. But she admits that the "neighbors helped us by giving us things like bottled water, mattresses, blankets, cups and plates". But at the same time, she also knows that they  "could pick up and leave at any time, as [they] don’t have anything of value here", and there are no schools or jobs available. And they just pass their time playing or helping in the housework, or watch TV.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
