Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The boxed information lists examples of the Global Fund for Children's projects, so C is correct.
  2. The article mainly talks about Maya Ajmera founding the Global Fund for Children and its projects to improve children's education, so A is the best summary.
  3. The word "epidemic" matches the given definition.
  4. The redundant part in "has illustrated the power an individual has in changing the lives of others for the better" can be removed. A better - written sentence could be "Maya Ajmera has changed the lives of others for the better."
  5. "fare" is a misspelling, it should be "fair".
