Select the correct answers. Read the following excerpt from a speech delivered by actress and activist Angelina Jolie on World Refugee Day in 2009. Which two sentences correctly describe the speaker’s point of view?

We're here today to talk about millions of desperate families—families so cut-off from civilization that they don't even know that a day like this exists on their behalf. Millions. And numbers can illuminate but they can also obscure. So I am here today to say that refugees are not numbers. They’re not even just refugees. They are mothers and daughters and fathers and sons—they are farmers, teachers, doctors, engineers, they are individuals all. And most of all they are survivors—each one with a remarkable story that tells of resilience in the face of great loss. They are the most impressive people I have ever met and they are also some of the world's most vulnerable. Stripped of home and country, refugees are buffeted from every ill wind that blows across this planet . . .
. . .
As an American I know the strength that diversity has given my country. A country built by what now some would dismiss as asylum seekers or economic migrants. And I believe we must persuade the world that refugees must now be simply viewed as a burden. They are survivors. And they can bring those qualities to the service of their communities and the countries that shelter them.

War and difficult situations turn ordinary people into strong survivors.
Refugee camps don’t have the resources to care for all refugees.
Refugees are not a burden but an asset to the country that shelters them.
People in peaceful countries don’t appreciate what they have.
The United States is a nation built on the efforts of economic migrants.
