Question

In Sudan, government instability has had serious effects on the standard of living. Sudan
has experienced military takeovers, civil war, and armed conflict in recent years. Fighting
has damaged schools and hospitals, making it difficult for children to attend school
regularly. Many families have been forced to leave their homes, becoming refugees or
internally displaced people. Food shortages have increased because farms have been
destroyed and supply routes have been blocked. Aid organizations report that millions of
people in Sudan face hunger and limited access to medicine. These challenges show how
government instability can lower a country’s standard of living.

facing hunger?

what to highlight that answers the question 1 and 2 and explain to why to highlight it

Answer 1

1. Answer (1–2 sentences)
Conflict has damaged schools and hospitals, disrupting education and health services and making it difficult for children to attend school regularly.

2. Answer (2–3 sentences)
Many people are facing hunger because food shortages have risen after farms were destroyed and supply routes were blocked, which prevents food production and distribution. Displacement of families and limited access to aid and medicine further worsens people’s ability to obtain food and basic needs.

What to highlight and why
- Highlight: "Fighting has damaged schools and hospitals, making it difficult for children to attend school regularly."
- Why: This sentence directly states the effect of conflict on both schools and hospitals and explains the consequence (children cannot attend regularly), so it is the primary evidence for question 1.

- Highlight: "Food shortages have increased because farms have been destroyed and supply routes have been blocked."
- Why: This clause gives the cause (destroyed farms, blocked supply routes) and the effect (increased food shortages), which directly answers why people face hunger.

- Highlight: "Many families have been forced to leave their homes, becoming refugees or internally displaced people."
- Why: Displacement is an important contributing factor that reduces people’s access to food, services, and aid, supporting the explanation for increased hunger.

- Highlight: "Aid organizations report that millions of people in Sudan face hunger and limited access to medicine."
- Why: This provides evidence and scale—confirming the outcome (millions face hunger) and showing that limited access to medicine and aid compounds the crisis.
