Answer 1

C. by discussing the balance between moving past a genocide and remembering it .

Step-by-step explanation:

In an interview with the Foreign Minister of Rwanda Louise Mushikiwabo, Steve Inskeep from NPR News asks questions regarding the genocide in Rwanda that killed thousands of people. On the 20th Anniversary of the genocide, Inskeep asked how the genocides in Rwanda in 1994 is quite similar to that of the genocide during the Holocaust.

Steve Inskeep maintained that "people want to remember [it], but at the same time, they want to move past it". And for the people of Rwanda, it is a much more complicated thing for it is not easy to do both. According to the Minister, it is rather a case of "justice and reconciliation" if the whole country is to move on from this disaster. And when asked by the interviewer how the people of Rwanda feels about the two being similar, he admitted that balancing between forgetting and remembering the event is a "difficult" task for the people.
