2. A text about climate adaptation in English Extension 2 echoes a well-known public speech but shifts the focus to coastal families. What should an extension response examine?

Independent interpretation
hard
text

- Choose one reading and ignore the other completely.
- Say ambiguity means the text has no meaning.
