This question is incomplete because the paragraph is missing; here is the missing part of the question:
"A Genetics of Justice”
In December 1960, four months after our arrival, Time magazine reported the murder of the three Mirabal sisters, who along with their husbands had started the national underground Dominican Republic. My parents confiscated the magazine. To our many questions about what was going on, my mother always had the ready answer, "En boca cerrada no entran moscas.” No flies fly into a closed mouth. Later, I found out that this very saying had been scratched on the lintel of the entrance of the SIM's torture center at La Cuarenta.
Answer: 2. The author's parents were afraid to discuss murders or event in the Dominican Republic
Explanation:
In the excerpt from "A genetics to Justice," the narrator explains her parents avoided speaking about the situation in the Dominican Republic; this can be seen in "I knew very little about what was actually going on in the Dominican Republic". Additionally, the general attitude of her parents including the fact they spoke "in hushed voices" about the topic, and " confiscated the magazine" about the murders of some Dominicans show the parents are afraid to discuss any situation to this country. This idea is also explained in "No flies fly into a closed mouth", which shows the parents are afraid something bad will happen to them if they speak about this topic. Thus, the central idea is expressed by option 2.
Answer:
"I need to buy a bicycle since I walk three miles to school each day and am often late to class."
Explanation:
This appeals to logic because it uses specific facts that aren't opinion in order to argue a point. It says that you need a bike because you walk three miles each day. That is a number statistic.
"Pleasant memories of canoeing on the river with my beloved dog flooded my mind." This is just your own memories. No facts or logic.
"The captain of the fishing vessel confirmed that I had made the best catch of the day." Well there isn't any way to prove this with logic. This is just what he said. Now if the captain measured all the fish side by side, then that would prove somebody really made the best catch.
"If you want to have the most fun on a bicycle, hybrid trail bikes are the most thrilling to ride." And this is just an opinion. Not everybody would agree hybrid bike trails are thrilling. So this can't be proven and is not logic.
Hope this helps!!!
