The two correct answers are:
A. Both ask the reader to consider their immediate surroundings in the context of societal issues.
E. Both survey past trends leading up to the present moment.
A Short History of the High Rise
Some people may look up at high rises and simply see looming
structures of brick and concrete and glass. But a closer investigation of
where, why, and how these buildings were constructed, and who lives in
them, reveals so much more. For centuries societies have used the high
rise either to house the poor or to protect the rich, and sometimes to
reduce the gaps between the two. Through the lens of the high rise, we
can see how communities and governments around the world view and
deal with inequality and human rights.
Diet for a Changing Climate
When you think about combating climate change, you probably think
mostly about saving energy and relying less on cars. These are great
steps. But experts say that an even more effective way to reduce your
carbon footprint - the amount of greenhouse gases you contribute to the
atmosphere through your activities- is to focus on food. The locavore
movement, for example, supports eating foods that are locally produced,
often within 100 miles (160 km) of your home.
