Read the excerpt from "Speech at the 1996 Democratic National Convention" by Christopher Reeve:

1. Over the last few years, we've heard a lot about something called family values.
2. And like many of you, I've struggled to figure out what that means.
3. But since my accident, I've found a definition that seems to make sense.
4. I think it means that we're all family, that we all have value.
5. And if that's true, if America really is a family, then we have to recognize that many members of our family are hurting.
6. Just to take one aspect of it, one in five of us has some kind of disability.
7. You may have an aunt with Parkinson's disease.
8. A neighbor with a spinal cord injury.
9. A brother with AIDS.
10. And if we're really committed to this idea of family, we've got to do something about it.
11. First of all, our nation cannot tolerate discrimination of any kind.
12. That's why the Americans with Disabilities Act is so important and must be honored everywhere.
13. It is a civil rights law that is tearing down barriers both in architecture and in attitude.
14. One of the smartest things we can do about disability is invest in research that will protect us from disease and lead to cures.
15. This country already has a long history of doing just that.
16. When we put our minds to a problem, we usually find solutions.
17. But our scientists can do more.
18. And we've got to give them the chance.
19. That means more funding for research.
20. We've got to be smarter, do better.
21. Because the money we invest in research today is going to determine the quality of life of members of our family tomorrow.

Which of the following best supports the claim that more funding is needed to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities?

A. One in five people has some kind of disability.
B. America has an obligation to take care of all of its citizens.
C. Encouraging individuals with disabilities will enrich the whole society.
D. Investing in research will help protect people from disease and lead to cures.
