A
Yara Shahidi, a star of Freeform's Grown-ish, is one of a group of influencers across the globe. They are taking part in a movement called Little x Little.
There are more than 2 billion people worldwide born between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s.They make up Generation Z. Little x Little aims to inspire as many of those Generation Zers as they can to do 2 billion tiny acts of good by 2030. These acts should be in support of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals-a list of 17 ways to end starvation, fight inequality, stop climate change and much more.
Participants are encouraged to post the actions they take on social media. They should use the tag (标签)—Little x Little. They should share ideas, ranging from reducing meat consumption to abandoning the car and cycling instead.
“It is a really natural movement because what it stands for is this idea that, little by little, my generation can contribute to our world at large. I also appreciate that it does have this global aspect—we're not talking about just the U.S. but how to benefit our global community through action. Because of that, I feel like we're able to really create something special. And targeting my generation is great. We really are feeling the power behind our voice, the power of our actions,” Shahidi said. Her own personal examples of doing good include contributing money and time to causes near her own home.
“Thanks to social media, we see people who aren't directly in front of us and understand there's something greater to contribute to,” she also said. “A lot of times we're not aware of our support network. So many times when you enter this world of social participation, it feels very lonely when you feel like it's only you covering this topic, or only you taking part. Fortunately, Little x Little is creating that for us.”

So many times when you enter this world of social participation, it feels very lonely when you feel like it's only you covering this topic, or only you taking part. Fortunately, Little x Little is creating that for us. (很多时候我们都不知道我们的支持体系。很多时候，当你进入这个社会参与的世界时，当你觉得只有你在报道这个话题，或者只有你在参与时，你会感到非常孤独。幸运的是，Little x Little正在为我们创造这一点)”可知，很多时候，我们都觉得自己对全球做贡献很孤独，但是Little x little创造了一种支持体系的感觉，that指代上文的support network，与上文support network属于名词重现。故选B项。
