If many children don’t meet strict asylum criteria but face significant dangers if they return, the united states should consider allowing them to stay using humanitarian parole procedures we have employed in the past, for cambodians and haitians. it may be possible to transfer children and resettle them in other safe countries willing to share the burden.
what is the author’s purpose in this excerpt?

To provide facts and details about Cambodian and Haitian children

The answer is: to provide facts and details about Cambodian and Haitian children.

Explanation:

Let's discard the others first: policies and opinions aren't mentioned here, it's just informative, so this is why the first option isn't correct. This excerpt cannot prompt feeling of sympathy as it is not stating exactly what about children... There is no suspense about the asylum process, as it barely mentions it at the beginning. At the end, what we get out of this is some details and facts about Cambodian and Haitian children, we know that as the whole excerpt focuses and encapsulates everything on the children.

i think it is who. im not sure to be honest

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
