Answer 2

## Step 1The problem asks us to identify the sentence that best supports the author's purpose of persuading readers that the United States should change its refugee policy. To do this, we need to analyze each sentence and determine which one most strongly advocates for a change in the refugee policy.## Step 2The first sentence, "If a house is burning, people will jump out the window," is a metaphorical statement and does not provide any direct evidence or argument for changing the refugee policy.## Step 3The second sentence, "I last went to Nueva Suyapa in 2003, to write about another boy, Luis Enrique Motino Pineda who had grown up there and left to find his mother in the United States," is a personal anecdote and does not provide any direct evidence or argument for changing the refugee policy.## Step 4The third sentence, "The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees recently interviewed 404 children who had arrived in the United States from Honduras El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico," provides statistical evidence about the number of children who have arrived in the United States from these countries. However, it does not provide any direct evidence or argument for changing the refugee policy.## Step 5The fourth sentence, "The United States should also increase to pre-9/11 levels the number of refugees we accept to 90,000 from the current 70,000 per year and, unlike in recent years, actually admit that many," is a clear statement of the author's position on the refugee policy. It suggests that the United States should increase the number of refugees it accepts and actually admit that many. This sentence directly supports the author's purpose of persuading readers that the United States should change its refugee policy.
