Question

ITS ON EDGE 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.

Answer 1

Answer: The statement that best compares is Memmott presents facts about the dictatorship objectively, while Alvarez gives details about how it affected people.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we look at "Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre’” by Mark Memmott it provides the details about the "Parsley Massacre" which is considered a historical event. Mark Memmott provides information containing facts about Rafael Trujillo who is regarded as a brutal dictator and he also provides the data in the estimation of about the number of people killed.

While if we take a glimpse at "A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez it consists of a personal point of view. She tells about personal incidences and experiences on the topic like how her family hushed voices about the situation at that time that was present in the Dominican Republic. Basically, we can say that Alvarez's story revolves around her family and how the dictatorship affected their household.
