21. d. The final sentence suggests that prison inmates—who are provided with food, shelter, and clothing—are sometimes better cared for than children in foster care, who may not get the attentionand care they need for their physical and emotional well being. Nothing states that the author was inprison (choice a) or was a foster child (choice c). The author also does not suggest that foster parentsare often too lenient (choice b). Because the author is advocating the creation of group homes to provide better care than the current foster care system, choice eis also incorrect.
