Passages:
"Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre’” by Mark Memmott:
Seventy-five years ago, thousands of Haitians were murdered in the Dominican Republic by a brutal dictator. It was one of the 20th Century's least-remembered acts of genocide.
As many as 20,000 people are thought to have been killed on orders given by Rafael Trujillo. But the "parsley massacre” went mostly unnoticed outside Hispaniola. Even there, many Dominicans never knew about what happened in early October 1937. They were kept in the dark by Trujillo's henchmen.
"A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez:
At this point I would always ask her why she and my father had returned to live in the country if they knew the dictatorship was so bad. And that's when my mother would tell me how, under pressure from his friends up north, Trujillo pretended to be liberalizing his regime. How he invited all exiles back to form political parties. How he announced that he would not be running in the next elections. My father had returned only to discover that the liberalization was a hoax staged so that the regime could keep the goodwill and dollars of the United States.
My father and mother were once again trapped in a police state.
Answer:
C. The passages show how people often did not know or understand the extent of Trujillo’s deceit.
Explanation:
The excerpts in ''Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre'' and in "A Genetics of Justice” we can see that they are showing that Trujillo's fraud and deceit was very unknown for other people.
In the first excerpt Mark Memmot is talking about massacre which was a genocide also unknown by many of them.
In the second excerpt Julia Alvarez is talking about lies that her parents did hear and they return under wrong expectation because of that.
Henry's charactrization by the author in Red Badge of Courage is done through the thoughts Henry has.

He is the main character of the book and the novel tells his growth from an immature teenager to a war-weary adult.
Answer:
The photo is very blurry please take a more clear picture
Explanation:
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The author use paragraphs 30-31 to refine their ideas in the following way.
When Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence, wrote <em>"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress..." </em>he wants to conclude that American colonists have tried many ways to get a proper answer from the British crown and the only answer they had received had been a repeated injury, which means, the King still considered aggressions to the colonists.
When Jefferson wrote <em>"...That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved..." </em> he is making the strong conclusive statement that from now on, the colonies are declaring independence from the English crown so the colonies are free and independent states, that have the power and rights to do the things they freely consider correct.
