Read this excerpt: "Actually, time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I fee

l that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity."

Now is the time to stand up against racial inequality
Now is the time to change the world

deff fn [24]

"A Genetics of Justice" by Julia Alvarez is a story of a totalitarian government and a young girl. "Trujillo's vanity knew no bounds," provides the best evidence for the central idea. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>What is the central idea?</h3>

A central idea is the theme of the literary work that gives the insight and the idea of the whole passage or the poem. It deduces the main points and the concept the writer wants the readers to understand.

The statement depicts how Trujillo was worried and concerned about his appearance which led him to build the high heels, Napoleonic hats, etc. that made him look good and hence supports the theme.

Therefore, option B. Trujillo's vanity knew no bounds is the best evidence.
