Read this excerpt from a passage. "Imagine a classroom of 20 children, ready for learning. In this class, 12 of them - over half - are considered low-income or poor. Of the 72 million children in the United States, more than 45 million of them are growing up in low-income or poor families. That is 64 percent of children in the richest country in the world living just above or under the poverty line (Jiang 1). There are many causes to poverty, but none as inextricably linked as education. In fact, children whose parents have less than a high school degree have a significantly increased chance of growing up in poverty (Jiang 5). Poverty and lack of education are connected in a continuing, ever-worsening cycle. In fact, poverty is both a cause and an effect of lack of education."

Read this passage from alan weisman's "the city without us": he props his running shoe against the whitish bark of a chinese amur cork tree, growing among the last of the hemlocks. "this may sound blasphemous, but maintaining biodiversity is less important than maintaining a functioning ecosystem. what matters is that soil is protected, that water gets cleaned, that trees filter the air, that a canopy regenerates new seedlings to keep nutrients from draining away into the bronx river." now read this passage from jared diamond's "the ends of the world as we know them": both the shoguns and the japanese peasants took a long-term view: the former expected to pass on their power to their children, and the latter expected to pass on their land. . today, despite having the highest human population density of any large developed country, japan is more than 70 percent forested. what common theme of green literature is most strongly evident in both passages? a. in order to thrive in coming centuries, people must find viable alternatives to fossil fuels, such as coal. b. with careful and intelligent management, ecosystems can still thrive after human beings have changed them. c. in order meet their goals, environmentalists must people develop a personal desire to protect nature. d. there is no excuse for damaging the natural world, and anyone who does so will pay a steep price.
