Question

Which excerpt from “Pakistan’s Malala” helps explain how setting shaped Malala’s father’s point of view?

“"My father said that some days ago someone brought the printout of this diary saying how wonderful it was. . . ."
“Ellick spent months with the father and daughter and formed a deep friendship with them.”
“In January 2009, Malala and her father sat in their living room drinking tea and eating beef and curry stew.”
“Yousufzai grew up in the Swat area with little access to educational resources. . .

Answer 1

“Yousufzai grew up in the Swat area with little access to educational resources. . . .”

This line directly links the setting of his own childhood (limited schooling in Swat) to why he later valued education and advocated for his daughter's schooling—so the setting helps explain his point of view.
