General EnglishReading comprehension
- APeople want to travel more and live in different parts of the world
- BIt will unite people from all over the world to face the challenges of the 21st century
- CPeople believe that there is a future in foreign countries
- DPeople will cooperate with each other to save themselves from natural disasters
Explanation
The passage argues that 21st-century challenges are global in nature and require cooperation beyond national boundaries, so we must see ourselves as 'citizens of the world' and respond accordingly. The increasing recognition of global citizenship follows directly from this need for united global action. Option (b) expresses this, while the others mention travel, foreign futures or natural disasters, which are not the passage's reasoning. Hence (b) is correct.
