1)the method his soldiers used in 1937 to try to identify those who would be killed was cruelly unique. When confronting someone

in the lands along the border with Haiti, they would hold up a sprig of parsley and ask what it was. If the person responded by trilling the "r” in perejil ( Spanish for parsley), he would be free to go. Anyone who didn't trill the "r” was thought to be a Haitian Creole speaker—and was likely to be killed.
2)My father and mother were once again trapped in a police state. They laid low as best they could. Now that they had four young daughters, they could not take any chances. For a while, that spark which has almost cost my father his life and which he had lighted in my mother seemed to have burnt out. Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

Which statement does NOT accurately compare the two passages?

a
Each text describes the tributes and taxes that Trujillo demanded.
b
Each text describes how frightening it was to live under the dictatorship.
c
Each text presents different information on the same topic.
d
Each text presents different information from a different point of view.

Marina86 [1]
the travelers and the llamas are connected. "Knitting their cheeks" is figurative language implying that the people and llamas are analyzing the travelers' movement and displacement from the scene.
