There are 3 prepositional phrases: for civil rights, by means, and of protest. As a general rule the object of the preposition follows the preposition and is always a noun. So in the phrase for civil rights the object would be rights (civil is an adjective describing rights). The object of "by means" is means. The object of "of protest"
The statement that best summarizes the central idea of the text is -The actions of a large group can greatly influence an individual’s decisions.
Explanation:
When a person/individual is in a group the decision making ability of the person is influenced by the people of the group or the group members.
The perspective of the members of the group has a great say in the decision making skill of the individual member.
When an individual is alone or not a part of the group then his perspective of looking at the things is far different but once he becomes a part of the group he consider the perspective of the other individuals as well and thus the decision is influenced by the group members.

The first one talks about volcanoes and how they are classified. That's one of your answers if you are trying for brevety and education.
I think the second one would also be a choice. It is trying to show you the nature of anxiety and what causes it. You learn a lot about symptoms from reading it. It's quick and to the point. Expository? Yes.
I don't think four is exactly expository, but I might be wrong. It sounds too argumentative to be completely expository. It wouldn't be my first choice even though I have read Twain a great deal, beginning in my teens. He always has something pointedly funny to say about the human condition. So it's hard for me not to include him in anything. It's not exactly narrative either. The tough ones are three and four.
Three tries to tell you what it would be like to live in another country. I think it likely is the choice you are looking for.
