Question

3.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. It emphasizes the idea that colorism in the Dominican Republic has serious and violent consequences.

Explanation:

In the text "Behind Closed Doors: 'Colorism' in The Caribbean", Michel martin discusses the issue of colorism in the Dominican Republic with Frances Robles. This is based on the research of Robles' pertaining to the issue of one's color in the Caribbean nation.

Recollecting the one instance where a young girl was killed at a disco because she brought men who got into a scuffle with the bouncers who refused to admit them. This event was because of the 'color' of the men who seemed more black than usual, despite the 'open declaration' of the people about being a "racially open and mixed society". The inclusion of this story shows how the people in the Dominican Republic are in denial of their 'racist' attitude of colorism.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
