Read the two excerpts.

"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:

During my early teen years in this country, I knew very little about what was actually going on in the Dominican Republic. Whenever Ia situación on the island came up, my parents spoke in hushed voices. 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.

Which statement best compares how the two authors address this topic?

Memmott writes well after the events occurred, while Alvarez writes while the events are occurring.

Memmott tells about one event that occurred, while Alvarez tells about the dictatorship as a whole.

Memmott gives an anecdote to tell about the dictatorship’s cruelty, while Alvarez tells about her family.

The answer is:

The passages show how people often did not know or understand the extent of Trujillo’s deceit.

In the excerpts from Mark Memmott's "Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre'" and Julia Alvarez:'s "A Genetics of Justice," both authors make reference to dictator Trujillo's deviousness, fraud and meanness. Memmot mentions the massacre of 20,000 Haitians, which remained unseen. At the same time, Alvarez reveals how her parents and other exiled Dominicans went back to their country deceived by Trujillo, so that his regime could seize their American dollars.
