Answer 1

Central Idea: The central idea of Malala Yousafzai's "Speech at the United Nations" is the power of education and the resistance it faces from extremists who fear change and equality. This passage highlights how extremists target education, particularly targeting women and children, due to their fear of the transformative potential of education in society.Types of Evidence:1. Specific Examples: Yousafzai provides specific instances of violence against education and women, such as the killing of innocent students in Quetta, female teachers and polio workers in Khyber Pukhtoon Khwa and FATA, and the frequent bombings of schools. These examples illustrate the direct attacks on education and women's empowerment by extremists, reinforcing the central idea of the power of education and the fear it instills in those who oppose change and equality. 2. Rhetorical Devices: Yousafzai employs rhetorical devices like repetition ("They are afraid of..."), which emphasizes the fear that extremists harbor towards education and women's voices. By repeating the phrase "They are afraid," she underscores the irrationality and insecurity behind the extremist actions, further strengthening the argument about the transformative potential of education and the resistance it faces.
