Which of these statement best compares the information in both passages?
Passage 1 Global News This year's Nobel Peace Prize was given to Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus and his pioneering Grameen Bank. Yunus was awarded the prize for providing seemingly insignificant loans, known as microcredit, and helping millions come out of poverty. It is to be noted that Yunus's efforts have made it possible for many poor people to buy cattle or mobile phones they needed to get ahead in life and in small business. Grameen Bank has especially proved helpful to impoverished people who do not qualify to get big loans from banks. Mr. Yunus has announced that he will use part of the 1.4 million dollars of the prize money to create a company that makes low-cost, high-nutrition food for the poor. The rest of the money will be used to set up and an eye clinic for the poor in Bangladesh. Passage 2 A Citizen's Blog It is not every day that we hear about uplifting things that actually make a difference in this world. Today, I read about an economist who lifted millions out of poverty. Sounds good in a political campaign speech, right? Well, it actually happened. Mohammad Yunus of Bangladesh established a bank that makes it possible for many poor people to take out loans. His work and vision were rewarded with the Nobel Prize. I have to say, the money is going to the right place. This man can use the prize money for other cool projects like his bank and maybe lift an entire country. Next time I come up with a great idea, I am going to at least give it a shot. Who knows, I just might come up with a solution to end global warming or pollution or world hunger? 2. Which of these statement best compares the information in both passages?
