Members of jury have found former Minneapolis police officer guilty for the death of an African American, George Floyd. Floyd died on May 25, 2020 after the police officer held his knee against Floyd's neck or upper body for nearly nine minutes. This police officer was accused of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. This trial is probably one of the most closely watched trials in recent decades, because it involves a law enforcement officer; and Floyd's death under the knee of this officer has reverberated around the world. Although, the jury members have announced that this police officer is guilty in all charges, this unfortunate incident and Floyd's last words—I cannot breathe—have been deeply ingrained in the minds of American and have incited numerous marches, and protests across the country. Responding to the result of this trial, former US president, Barack Obama, asked this thought-provoking question: "Would justice be done" after we learned about the verdict of this trail? While this verdict may have somewhat uplifted the minds of Floyd's family and is a necessary step on the road to justice, it is far from a sufficient one. According to Obama, true justice is "about much more than a single verdict in a single trial." Obama argues that we cannot override what has happened, but it's important for all citizens to recognize that millions of people of color live in fear that their next encounter with a police officer could be their last member trace. Obama maintained that all of us—in particular the people in education—have to start doing something that helps unite people of different colors and of different ethnic backgrounds. Additionally, Obama also posited that people in law and law enforcement have to follow through the concrete reforms that may incrementally eliminate racial bias in the criminal justice system and to ensure that full measure of justice that Floyd and so many others have been denied. Last but not least, policy makers have to start enacting laws that can expand the economic opportunities for those minority groups that have been too long marginalized. The above works may look trivial, thankless and difficult, but they are necessary to make the America the country US people believe in again.

Which statement can be added to the very end of the second paragraph without disrupting the flow of this passage?

AAmericans reacted to this verdict violently as former Minneapolis police officer was found guilty of the murder of George Floyd.
BThere are always bad apples in the police force; and we just need to swallow what happened to George Floyd.
CWe can draw on the strength from millions of American people who protested and spoke up, shining a light on inequity and calling for change.正確答案
DFloyd's verdict has been criticized by law enforcement officials and advocates who fear it will handicap police.
答案與詳解
C
正確答案
第二段結尾需接續Obama的正向改革論述,選最符合「從抗議行動汲取力量推動改變」語氣的選項C

為什麼答案是 C

短文第二段Obama強調需要眾人共同行動(教育者、法律人、政策制定者),並引用Floyd的抗議影響;C提到「從百萬抗議者身上汲取力量,照亮不公平並呼籲改變」,呼應短文第一段的marches/protests及第二段的正向改革呼籲,完美承接段落收尾「make America the country US people believe in again」
