To join Israel.
explain why is answer b

Answer 1

Answer B ("Their own country") is correct because the passage says the Palestinians want statehood/independence or otherwise uses phrases like “an independent Palestinian state,” “self‑determination,” or “a country of their own.” That directly matches “their own country.”

Why the other choices are wrong:
- A (To live as refugees): being refugees is the status many Palestinians currently have, not what they want to remain. The passage portrays refugee status as a problem to be solved, not a goal.
- C (Control of Palestine): this implies seizing or ruling all of historic Palestine; the passage instead describes a desire for an independent state (self‑rule), not domination of the whole territory.
- D (To join Israel): joining Israel would mean becoming part of Israel rather than having a separate state; the passage contrasts Palestinian statehood with Israeli rule, so joining Israel is inconsistent with the stated aim.

In short, the passage frames the Palestinians’ goal as having their own sovereign country (self‑determination), which is why B is the best answer.
