✅ Correct Option: 2
The sentence talks about different reasons that may have caused the Arab Spring, like political problems, unemployment, and youth dissatisfaction.Option 2 -> introduces another related event, the 2009-10 Iranian election protests, which also might have influenced the Arab Spring. This makes it a good fit because it adds another factor to what was already mentioned!
Option 1 (youth unrest) -> is too narrow and doesn't cover all the factors mentioned.Option 3 (wide gap between the rich and poor) -> is already part of what’s mentioned in the passage.Option 4 -> just a general summary and doesn't directly continue the thought from the sentence.
