Question

Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The long and meticulous study and debate of which this Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the product means that it reflects the composite views of the many men and governments who have contributed to its formulation. Not every man nor every government can have what he wants in a document of this kind. There are of course particular provisions in the Declaration before us with which we are not fully satisfied. I have no doubt this is true of other delegations, and it would still be true if we continued our labors over many years. Taken as a whole the Delegation of the United States believes that this is a good document—even a great document—and we propose to give it our full support. Based on this passage, which statement best summarizes Roosevelt's reasons for supporting the UDHR? She supports it even though its authors should have compromised more. She supports it even though its authors composed the document quickly. She supports it because it provides everything her delegation sought. She supports it because it brings together the ideas of different authors.

Answer 1

Answer:

She supports it because it brings together the ideas of different authors.

Explanation:

In the given speech from the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Eleanor Roosevelt stated that the document "reflects the composite views of the many men and governments who have contributed to its formulation". The document may have been a product of the numerous different views of the many men and women who worked on it, and which may not even satisfy all the needs of the people. But at the same time, "this is a good document'' which she and others "propose to give their full support".

Thus, the best sentence that summarizes the given passage is the fourth option.
