PLEASE HELP Select the correct text in the passage.
Which statement best shows the central idea that South Africa wishes to regain its place among other nations?

"outlawed and isolated by the peoples of the world"

Explanation:

"The national mood changes as the seasons change" is incorrect because it's not related to the idea of South Africa's place among other regions, it's talking about the internal environment.

"when the grass turns green and the flowers bloom" incorrect for same reason as above

"outlawed and isolated by the peoples of the world" is correct because it shows that they did not like their low standing and it is implied that they want to change that.

"have today been given the rare privilege to be host to the nations of the world on our own soil." incorrect on Edmentum, because this is how South Africa is beginning to realize their wish, not describing their actual wish to regain position

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader

the answer is "a" although apex might say best book of the year.
