Answer 2

Answer: B) Children are in harm’s way due to acts of violence.

The photograph shows children looking out from a damaged building. It shows that the children are in dangerous territory, and that they are in harm's way due to acts of violence. This picture reminds us if the reality of war: it is not only soldiers who suffer, but civilians. Common people, often entire families, have their lives disrupted due to the tragedies of armed conflict.
