After reading the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars,” the sentence that supports the strong negative connotations is “They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.” Here, the right answer is Option A.

Explanation:

It is evident from the excerpt that United States is not putting in so much of effort in helping the 52,000 children. Being a wealthy nation, it is not exerting towards helping these children but is turning its back to them.

That is the reason why José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa is saying that that the children are being handed with a death sentence. He calls the United States a humane country and says further adds that because of this they should help these innocent lives and not ignore them.

answer: the correct answer is b. an essay that connects the writer's experience with a topic of significance and of reader interest.

explanation: the key words are here "personal experience" since personal essays give insights about peoples' experiences in life and introduce us in their unique world that can be or not to related to our lives but interests us because we are human beings and share the same condition universally.
