ELIE WIESEL’S REMARKS AT THE DEDICATION OF YAD VASHEM HOLOCAUST HISTORY MUSEUM Commonlit

Part B: Which quote from the text best supports the answer to part A?

A. "history had entered into madness" (paragraph 7)
B. "madness had its own logic" (paragraph 7)
C. "we go through the museum and we don't understand" (paragraph 8)
D. "What does one do with memories?" (paragraph 8)

Answer 1

B. "madness had its own logic" (paragraph 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

In part A, reasonable is the synonym of plausible. The statement mentions that madness seemed plausible and that the Jews had to go about killing women and children alike in the most horrendous ways. The statement, "madness had its own logic," supports this answer.

All the problems that were going on then seemed logical and reasonable for them. It was accepted as the new normal. Therefore, all the cruelty went on unabated.
