• B. Deconstructing human exceptionalism
• C. Studying connections between humans, society and the non-human world

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, B, C

Step 1: Define "green reading."
A "green reading" is an ecocritical approach to literature. It interprets texts through the lens of ecology, environmental justice, and human-nature relationships.

Step 2: Evaluate each option. \begin{itemize} \item (A) Environmental concerns — central to ecocriticism: literature is read for how it represents climate, ecology, and sustainability. Correct. \item (B) Deconstructing human exceptionalism — ecocriticism questions the anthropocentric worldview, emphasizing humans as part of ecosystems, not superior to them. Correct. \item (C) Connections between humans and the non-human world — ecocriticism studies interdependence of human culture, society, and natural environments. Correct. \item (D) Marginalizing differently abled people — unrelated to green/ecocritical reading; pertains instead to disability studies. \end{itemize} \[ \boxed{\text{Answer: (A), (B), and (C)}} \]
