Question

How do details from the excerpts support the purpose of advocating for children from Central America?

Both include information that ask people to help children from Central America.
Both offer solutions that show how victims from other countries have been helped.
The excerpt from Enrique’s Journey uses quotations to show that it is better for these children to be sent back, and “Children of the Drug Wars” uses examples describing how other countries have dealt with the issue.
The excerpt from Enrique’s Journey tells a story about what happened to one victim, and “Children of the Drug Wars” uses words that create an emotional response to persuade readers to take action.

Answer 1

The fourth choice. Enrique’s Journey uses a personal narrative (one child’s story) to humanize the issue, while “Children of the Drug Wars” uses emotionally charged language and examples to provoke sympathy and motivate readers to act—together supporting advocacy for Central American children.
