• For families like Mary Ann Marino's, "18 years has not lessened our loss," she told those gathered at ground zero after she read part of the long list of victims' names. She lost her son, firefighter Kenneth Marino.

• The dead included Muslims, as Zaheda Rahman underscored after reading names at ground zero. She called her uncle, Abul Chowdhury, a "proud Muslim-American man who lived his life with a carefree nature, a zeal for adventure and a tenacity which I emulate every single day."

• A compensation fund for people with potentially September 11-related health problems has paid out more than $5.5 billion so far. More than 51,000 people have applied. Over the summer, Congress made sure the fund won't run dry. The sick also gained new recognition this year at the World Trade Center site, where a memorial glade was dedicated this spring.

• September 11 has become known also as a day of service. People around the country volunteer at food banks, schools, home-building projects, park cleanups and other community events around the anniversary.

Which option would Nicholas Haros Jr. MOST likely agree with? Which selection from the article supports your answer?

• Representative Ilhan Omar's comments were taken out of context. "After reading victims' names, Nicholas Haros Jr. used his turn at the podium to tear into Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota over her recent 'Some people did something' reference to 9/11."

• Muslims have lost many rights since the 9/11 attacks. "The quote was taken from a speech she gave in March talking about how Muslims' civil liberties were being eroded after the horrifying attacks of 9/11."

• It is still unclear who is responsible for the 9/11 attacks. "'Madam, objectively speaking, we know who and what was done,' Haros, who lost his mother, Frances, said as he reminded the audience of the al-Qaida attackers."

• The 9/11 terrorist acts were an attack on American values. "'Our constitutional freedoms were attacked, and our nation's founding on Judeo-Christian values was attacked. That's what some people did. Got that now?' he said to applause."

What is the relationship between the following selections from the article?

Which of the following details is MOST important to the development of the central idea?

• People who were too young on 9/11 to even remember their lost loved ones, and others for whom the grief is still raw, paid tribute with wreath-layings and the solemn roll call of the dead Wednesday as America marked the 18th anniversary of the worst terror attack on U.S. soil.

• President Donald Trump laid a wreath at the Pentagon, telling victims' relatives there: "This is your anniversary of personal and permanent loss."

• Near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the third site where planes crashed on September 11, 2001, Vice President Mike Pence credited the crew and passengers who fought back against the hijackers with protecting him and others in the U.S. Capitol that day.

• The aim was to dislodge Afghanistan's then-ruling Taliban militants for harboring al-Qaida leader and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.
