Show Hint
If a technical term is introduced (like “Zipf’s law”), check if one sentence defines it. Start with definitions when they are present.
C introduces a general concern about vulnerability. D focuses on youth, followed by B introducing WHO. E presents WHO’s solution, and A supports it by explaining the teachers' role.
