Read the following excerpt from a speech delivered by actress and activist Angelina Jolie on World Refugee Day in 2009. Which two
sentences correctly describe the speaker's point of view?
We're here today to talk about millions of desperate families--families so cut-off from civilization that they don't even know that a day
like this exists on their behalf. Millions. And numbers can illuminate but they can also obscure. So I am here today to say that
refugees are not numbers. They're not even just refugees. They are mothers and daughters and fathers and sons—they are farmers,
teachers, doctors, engineers, they are individuals all. And most of all they are survivors-each one with a remarkable story that tells of
resilience in the face of great loss. They are the most impressive people I have ever met and they are also some of the world's most
vulnerable Stripped of home and country, refugees are buffeted from every ill wind that blows across this planet...
As an American I know the strength that diversity has given my country. A country built by what now some would dismiss as asylum
seekers or economic migrants. And I believe we must persuade the world that refugees must now be simply viewed as a burden. They
are survivors. And they can bring those qualities to the service of their communities and the countries that shelter them.
