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.

Answer:
B). Claim and Counterargument.
Explanation:
An argument is defined as the key statement around which an entire literary paper or essay is surrounded and attempts to convince the readers to believe in it with logic and sufficient evidence. An effective argument consists of a variety of significant elements but as per the question, the two most basic and important elements of an argument would be a 'claim and counterclaim'.
<u>The claim functions to emphasize a specific idea or point and its validity before the readers</u> and <u>the counterclaim however attempt to negate or deny the key statement(central claim) that is further denied through evidence in support of the actual argument.</u> Including counterclaim is significant as it reflects the objective approach and enhances the credibility of the work as it mirrors that the speaker/author is aware of multiple dimensions/perspectives of the claim. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
