Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. focus.

  • The word "focus" is appropriate because it denotes something that is the main point of attention or interest.
  • In the context of the sentence, "focus" accurately describes how the fight for social justice and equality is a significant area of global attention and concern.
  • The other options—"drift," "divergence," and "dispersion"—do not fit the context as well.
