Which of the following is the BEST commentary for the prompt? Prompt: Explain a push factor Muhammad faced and explain its impact on his life.
1 - Muhammad's life has been impacted greatly by the war. The war was not a safe living situation and made his family leave. Australia was providing asylum for refugees leaving Syria because of the war, so he went there.
2 - Muhammad's decision to seek safety in another country was not an easy decision but it was the safest option for his family. Muhammad could not risk being drafted into the war as he would not be able to provide for his family while he would be away. His life changed greatly when making the move to Australia and he faced many struggles, like language differences and culture shock, but Muhammad is glad he took the chance as he is doing much better today.
3 - The war in Syria was long and continued for many years. People lost their homes and the countries economy suffered greatly because of the funds going toward the war. Today, the war is still going on and causes many people to become refugees and seek asylum in other countries.
2 - Muhammad's decision to seek safety in another country was not an easy decision but it was the safest option for his family.
