Southwest Asia??? Do you mean the Middle East?
Which do you think is the correct answer?
About 100 years ago, when I was your age, we had something in writing called topic sentences, about which the entire paragraph was woven. Is there any reason not to think this is the topic sentence? <<As in past years, old conflicts in this region continued after 2000, in new conflicts emerged.>>
So which of the answers focus on that topic?
Maybe I missed it, where does that paragraph mention the U.S. intervening in religious conflict?
It's not c. I've checked two of your answers. Now you're on your own. Please do not post this question again.
It’s b
Well nowhere is it c
If you can physically read the words, you need to work on understanding what you need.
Bella, you have a serious reading comprehension issue. There are folks who specialize in working on that. do you have a reading teacher? http://www.k12reader.com/subject/reading-skills/reading-comprehension/ I recommend start with the 5th grade, and work upwards. Ask your mom to help you. If you don't get this corrected, you might as well be a dead duck in school.
Bella,
Don't take offense about reading abilities.
My daughter wore those inch-thick glasses for years, starting in 1st grade. In high school, she was able to start wearing contacts, but she still had many, many sight issues over the years. However, she learned to understand what she read. You can, too.
The point of what bobpursley and Ms. Sue wrote is this ~~> that reading the words (called de-coding) is only one part of true reading. The other part is comprehension -- understanding what you read. We must do both in order to truly read.
Please re-read what bobpursley wrote above and check into that website. Please follow his suggestions.
