Will Give Brainliest!! Read the excerpt from "Famine is a Feminist Issue: To Feed the World, Start by Teaching Girls to Read."

That's why empowering women is now one of the main solutions for feeding the world. Globablly, most countries have achieved a birth rate at replacement levels, about two children per woman. But in sub-Saharan Africa, the [birth] rate is 5.6 children per woman, largely because girls are not aware of reproductive choices and drop out of school at a young age and have kids. [Birth] rates are highest in countries where women don't have access to birth control or maternal and child health care. Babies often die before they turn five years old, and mothers overcompensate in family planning in hopes that at least a few kids will survive to adulthood. Unless the status of women changes in sub-Saharan Africa, we're going to have a lot more than one billion hungry by midcentury.

How does the last sentence refine the idea that there is a link between birth rate and the possibility of famine in sub-Saharan Africa?

A. It explains that through education, women become empowered and have fewer children that will need to be fed.

B. It lays out the theory that if there was access to child health care, more children would survive to adulthood, and women would be giving birth to fewer children.

C. It suggests that unless women become educated about reproductive choices and have fewer children, there will be too many people to feed in the future.

D. It explains that the birth rate of 5.6 children per woman will need to be changed to a birth rate of replacement levels at two children per woman.

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!

is it "means of nourishment"
