“Iraq War Blog”: What information mainly does the following passage convey?
"There is no ideal way to prevent such things from happening. If the boy leaves alone in his car, they’ll abduct him. If he leaves with a driver—related or not—no one can prevent an abduction. We heard of many situations. Every story has different details that leads one to believe that there is no way to prevent it. There are even people who were abducted right in the middle of their personal bodyguards, so I know it’s not from a lack of caution.”

a)

Abductions can be stopped by taking the proper precautions.

b)

Violence is worse in Iraq than in neighboring countries.

c)

There is a sense of helplessness in dealing with the surrounding violence.

d)

Having bodyguards is essential in post-occupation Iraq.
Incorrect. Having personal bodyguards does not seem to stop abductions, either.

Answer:

C. There is a sense of helplessness in dealing with the surrounding violence.

Explanation:

A. does not work because the author has made it clear that regardless of the precautions taken, abductions still occur.

B. The violence in Iraq is not being compared to that of neighboring countries. It is just Iraq's violence that is being focused on in the passage.

C. As with A, the author has made it clear that you can become abducted without a driver, with a driver, without bodyguards, and with bodyguards, so there is not much you can do but hope you are left alone, which is a feeling of helplessness. It can happen no matter what you do.

D. This is incorrect because it said in the passage that even with bodyguards you can be abducted.
