There are a few misspelled words in the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from "The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes."

In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles, and rain forests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.

Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?

Suzuki asks the question in the excerpt:

B. to challenge listeners to think about animals and extinction.

Explanation:

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Suzuki asks a question with the purpose of figuratively shaking the audience awake. She wants them to realize how quickly things are changing, how rapidly animals are going extinct. She is now worried that, in a few years, when she has her own children, they will not be able to see the very animals and forest she sees today. However, her audience consists of people who are older than her, and who did not "have to worry about these little things" when they were her age. Precisely because they did not worry, she has to. Because the previous generations killed, destroyed and burned, Suzuki's descendants might see a very different world.
