• B. It focuses only on one culture
• C. It discourages solidarity
• D. It offers firsthand perspectives on displacement, resilience, and the importance of education and solidarity across cultures.

Answer: (D)

Global citizenship in the classroom shines when a memoir invites students into real experiences across borders, showing how displacement shapes lives and how education and solidarity can drive positive change. This memoir does exactly that by offering firsthand perspectives on displacement, resilience, and the importance of education and solidarity across cultures. Students encounter personal stories that reveal how interconnected people are—despite distance or difference—and they see education as a tool that can empower individuals and communities. They can discuss ways communities support one another, recognize shared responsibilities to people facing hardship, and consider actions that foster cross-cultural understanding and cooperation. The other options miss this richness: claiming it isn’t suitable ignores the meaningful connections to global issues; focusing on one culture misses cross-cultural relevance; and saying it discourages solidarity clashes with the memoir’s emphasis on collective resilience and mutual support.
