WHAT IS THE MAIN IDEA OF THIS PASSAGE? Acid rain is a result of air pollution. It is formed when gases are released and combine with water in the atmosphere to form an acid. The airborne acids eventually fall to earth in the form of acid rain. Acid rain damages the soil by making it acidic, causing tree growth to slow. Acid rain can pollute water and poison plants. In addition, it can burn holes in the waxy coating on tree leaves and needles, causing photosynthesis to slow. The trees become more vulnerable to disease and insect damage

The western countries would like to see the Hutu militants succeed is the inference that is best supported by the text in the excerpt from Hotel Rwanda.

Here, the right answer is option B.

Explanation:

Hotel Rwanda is about the blood-freezing killings of the Tutsi tribe by the Hutu tribe in 1994. The Belgian government considered the former to be superior than the latter because of their colour, facial features etc. The Tutsis were given positions of power which they used to oppress the Hutus. They were also respected and wealthier than the Hutus. This triggered the boiling anger of the Hutus. Further, the French supplied weapons to the Hutus which added the fuel to the fire. So we see the role played by the Belgian and the French which escalated the ethnic tensions. The story points out the complacency and inaction of the Western countries towards saving the lives of the civilians. When the Belgian colonizers left Rwanda, the Tutsis were left without the support of the colonial masters. This gave the perfect opportunity for the genocide.
