Our criminal justice system today is a disgrace. Modern day criminals have more rights than
an honest citizen ever imagined were written into our U.S. Constitution. Murderers and
rapists are typically set free on legal technicalities and seldom face any jail time. While that
scum is back to work finding new victims, the pleas of those they have killed, maimed, or
violated go unheard. Until we begin giving some real consideration to people who obey the
law, instead of those who break it, things are going to continue getting worse.

Question text
Read each paragraph. Then select the answer that best describes the author’s purpose
and perspectives in writing.
Until  the 1960s, people in the United States did not particularly pay  attention to the natural
environment. Rather, Americans were more  focused on the economy. However, with an
increase  in oil spills, polluting factories  and power plants, and the loss of wilderness,
suddenly  people  realizes they shared  common values.  They called for a national 
organization  to protect  the environment. Accordingly,  on April 22, 1970, the first Earth
DAY, 20 MILLION Americans  took to the streets, parks  and auditoriums  to demonstrate 
for a healthy, sustainable  environment. Thousands  of colleges  and universities  organized
protests against  the  deterioration   of the environment.
The first Earth Day led to the creation  of the United States  Environmental  Protection
Agency (EPA)  and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts.
President  Richard   Nixon and Congress  worked together  to established the EPA in
response  to the growing public demand  for cleaner water, air and land. Prior to the
establishment of the EPA, the  national government was not structured to make 
coordinated attack on the pollutants, which harm  human  health  and degrade  the
environment. The EPA  was  assigned  the daunting  task  of repairing  the damage already
done  to the natural environment.
Question:
Why did the author mention the protest in paragraph 1?
 

Select one:

a.
to describe the first Earth Day 

b.
to compare different groups in the protest

c.
to explain the creation of EPA

d.
to explain different acts created by the U.S. government
