Read the claim from Deepali’s argumentative essay.The United Nations continues to be a relevant institution, working globally to prevent wars, monitor human rights, and enforce international laws.Now, read the topic sentence from a body paragraph of his essay.Without the presence of the various United Nations organizations, people worldwide would suffer.
Answer
A
If there were more organizations like the United Nations, maybe there would not be so many human rights violations to worry about.
B
When the United Nations was officially founded in 1945, fifty countries participated in drawing up the United Nations charter.
C
Instead of joining something like the Peace Corps, more students should consider volunteering for the United Nations peacekeeping forces.
D
Currently, the United Nations has sixteen peacekeeping operations that are performing critical functions such as protecting civilians.
Explanation
The topic sentence says that people would suffer without the United Nations’ organizations, so the supporting detail should show how those organizations help people. Choice D explains that UN peacekeeping operations perform critical functions, including protecting civilians, which directly supports the topic sentence. The other choices discuss human rights generally, the UN’s founding, or volunteering rather than showing how UN organizations protect people.
