Transcript:

But our mission? Is to provide jobs. We have two purposes. One is about actual job creation for long term unemployed people so that they can be directly relieved from poverty felt by being on the dole. And the other is to provide skills and experiences to long term unemployed people so that they can be directly relieved from poverty, suffering, distress and misfortune. It comes from being in a state of poverty and being on the dole. But six years ago, we started Green World Revolution and it was a bit of an idea at the time we thought we'd start an Organism. Notion that could do something good for the environment and create a few jobs at the same time. We spent the first whole year applying for funding. We applied for the funding. We got short listed and then we jumped through a lot of hoops and we got $50,000 at the end of 2012 and by March and 2013, we found this property mostly because that big white box you see at the back there next to the sea. Container is a worm farm which was donated to US and we needed somewhere to house it and across.

Option 2: "To create jobs for long term unemployed people and provide them with skills and experiences"

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the two main purposes outlined in the text. The speaker explicitly states that one purpose is job creation for long-term unemployed individuals, and the other is to provide them with skills and experiences. This aligns perfectly with the mission described in the text, making it the correct answer.

Option 1: "To provide jobs and combat climate change"

Explanation: This option incorrectly combines two ideas. While the text mentions job creation, it does not state that combating climate change is one of the main purposes of Green World Revolution. The focus is primarily on job creation and providing skills to the long-term unemployed, not on environmental issues.

Option 3: "To apply for funding and develop new technologies"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as it misrepresents the main purposes of Green World Revolution. While the text mentions applying for funding, it does not indicate that this is a primary purpose of the organization. Additionally, there is no mention of developing new technologies, which makes this option irrelevant to the main idea presented.

Option 4: "To promote organic farming and support local businesses"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention promoting organic farming or supporting local businesses as purposes of Green World Revolution. The focus is solely on job creation and providing skills to the unemployed, making this option unrelated to the main themes discussed.
