Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the article “Why Literature Matters”.

Answer:

In her article, Dana Gioia reports on the points of society that are reached by the decrease in reading among young people in the society we know. To reinforce her argument, she shows evidence of how the lack of habit of reading, any type of book, has impacted Americans not only on a personal level, but on an economic and civic level as well, since reading provides a strong knowledge in these areas. According to her, when these things are affected in an individual who is not in the habit of reading, the whole society suffers and the whole nation becomes weakened.

Answer:

B.Gallaudet University should appoint a person who is deaf as its next president.

Explanation:

The author's thesis is best summarized in option B. The first evidence where the author claims that a deaf person should be the president of Gallaudet University is when he mentions that disabled people have the right to integration and involvement in society.

The second piece of evidence that supports the thesis is when the author says, "It [Gallaudet University] is held in the highest regard by deaf people throughout the United States and the world." Claiming that it should be an example for the nation and the world that the president of such a prestigious university has a disability. The last piece of evidence that supports his thesis is in the fifth paragraph "Gallaudet has a responsibility to set an example and thus to appoint a President who is not only highly qualified but who is also deaf."
