In this speech, Michelle Obama seeks to promote her programe "Let Girls Learn" and celebrate its first anniversary. Ms Obama firstly explains that this programe arouse from the anger and outrage that the lack of education for women worldwide caused her and all people involved. She states that barriers for girls education are not merely economical, but attitudinal and legal. "In my lifetime" she says "it was perfectly legal for employers to discrimate against women". She further explains that the rights that women gained and now posse are being taken for granted while they are "at risk of being rolled back". These rights, she explained, were attained through protests and negociations, and for this, education was key.
She then provides touching examples of girls from developing countries and how they fought to beat their circumstances and become their own person. Because, she claims, "girls know that education is their only path to self sufficiency, the only chance of shaping their own fate".
Finally, she praises the US Government for leading the way in the issue, through scholarships, investments and the building of infrastructure. She explains that big corporations and even other countries like Japan, the UK and South Korea are involved in the project, along with people worldwide who participates and volunteer.
Ms. Obama is clearly involved with this issue, and the emotion can be felt through her words. The information she shares is veridic and reliable. And even though she seeks to promote her programe and her husband's administration in the process, I believe she is truly commited to helping women around the world.

Answer:
Poisonous
Explanation:
The underlined word is <em>venomous</em>, and the options you were given are the following:
- non-poisonous
- non-toxic
- non-venomous
- poisonous
Synonyms are different words that have nearly or exactly the same meaning. A venomous animal is an animal capable of injecting venom through a bite or sting. The word <em>poisonous</em> is mostly used when it comes to plants and other substances that can cause death or illness after being ingested, but it can also be used when we talk about animals. In that case, it means <em>producing poison as a means of attacking enemies or prey.</em> That's why the word <em>poisonous </em>is the synonym of <em>venomous</em>.
The rest of the words have the opposite meaning, which makes them the antonyms of the underlined word.
