According to the text, what is one reason Moejoh and others founded U-recycle Initiative Africa?
Explanation
Context: Oluwaseyi Moejoh cofounded U-recycle Initiative Africa as a teenager. The organization teaches young people about how their actions affect the environment and why recycling matters. It put on an art exhibit using recycled materials.
Answer: B) To teach young people why recycling is important
Why? The text directly states: "Moejoh and her team founded the organization to teach young people how their actions affect the environment and why recycling is important." B is a direct restatement of one of the founding purposes.
Traps:
- A) "To bring attention to overlooked African artists" → the art exhibit is one activity; the founding purpose is environmental education, not promoting overlooked artists
- C) "To help adults gain important outdoor skills" → the organization targets young people, not adults; and the focus is recycling and environmental awareness, not outdoor skills
- D) "To give teenagers advice about starting businesses" → Moejoh founded U-recycle as a teenager, but the organization's purpose is environmental education, not business advice
