How does the book contrast life in Somalia and life in the camp?

• A. Somalia was peaceful with abundant opportunities.
• B. The camp is more dangerous than Somalia.
• C. The camp offers safety and education opportunities but lacks stability and normalcy.
• D. Somalia had no conflict and no education opportunities.

Answer: (C)

The contrast being tested is how safety, education, and a sense of normalcy differ between life in Somalia and life in the camp. In Somalia, the ongoing conflict makes daily life dangerous and opportunities limited, so people live with disruption and insecurity. In the camp, there is safety from the fighting and access to schooling and basic services, which marks a real improvement, but daily life still lacks long-term stability and a true sense of normalcy because the camp is a temporary, crowded environment with dependence on aid and an uncertain future. That combination—safety and education with ongoing instability—best matches what the book shows. The other statements misrepresent the situation by implying Somalia is peaceful or without education, or by claiming the camp is more dangerous than Somalia.
