You forgot to include the following choices:

a) that Hurricane Katrina presented challenges to many people

b) that the people of New Orleans have renewed their faith in God

c) that all Hurricane Katrina victims are having experiences similar to his

d) that the United States government has issued an apology to New Orleans

The answer is A. That Hurricane Katrina presented challenges to many people. The narrator assumed that Katrina did not only pose physical challenges to those who were affected, but it also changed every citizen in the U. S. A. After going through a huge calamity such as Katrina, they had no choice but to come out even stronger than before.
