We are on the threshold of a new century, a new millennium. What will the legacy of this vanishing century be? How will it be remembered in the new millennium? Surely it will be judged, and judged severely, in both moral and metaphysical terms. These failures have cast a dark shadow over humanity: two World Wars, countless civil wars, the senseless chain of assassinations (Gandhi, the Kennedys, Martin Luther King, Sadat, Rabin), bloodbaths in Cambodia and Algeria, India and Pakistan, Ireland and Rwanda, Eritrea and Ethiopia, Sarajevo and Kosovo; the inhumanity in the gulag and the tragedy of Hiroshima. And, on a different level, of course, Auschwitz and Treblinka. So much violence; so much indifference. -Elie Wiesel, "The Perils of Indifference," 1999 What is Wiesel trying to do in this passage? O A. Define what the word indifference means to him O B. Thank the United States for fighting against suffering in Kosovo O C. Remind his audience of the horrors of the 20th century O D. Show his excitement for advancements in technology​
