In northeast Africa, the Hom region, niver systems will be affected by the rise in temperature. Shorter wet seasons with more intense dry periods will cause water shortages and adverse consequences for the agriculture and forestry
sectors. East, Central, and West Africa's agriculture will be threatened as well. Coastal areas will have their share of
problems, too Water levels will rise making it easier for salt water to seep into freshwater resources, thus
contaminating the water. Temperature changes will affect marine life and all that surround such habitats.
Yet it is important for Africans to be able to sustain themselves through their own agriculture -- and with the inevitability
of climate change, it is necessary to adapt

Read the following excerpt from "harrison bergeron" by kurt vonnegut: he tried to think a little about the ballerinas. they weren't really very good-no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. they were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in. george was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn't be handicapped. but he didn't get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts. what message about the role of media is best supported in this excerpt? a. media are the reason george is able to watch ballet. b. media change people's values, making them more selfish. c. media tend to make audiences' worldviews the same. d. media can be used to distract audiences from the truth.
