to acknowledge the reality of racial profiling and scrutiny.
Explanation:
According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
- to illustrate Zeitoun’s strong allegiance to the Middle East.
- to explain the need for the Department of Homeland Security.
- to acknowledge the reality of racial profiling and scrutiny.
- to suggest Zeitoun’s involvement in suspicious activity.
In this excerpt, the author describes how Zeitoun needed to think about the reality of racial profiling in his daily life. We learn that he has not encountered this much throughout his life, but that he knows others who have, and that this situation is always on his mind anyway. This allows us to empathize with the problems that Muslim-Americans encounter on a day-to-day basis.
The answer would be C, as it is the only one that makes sense when you read it. Hope this helps.
