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: at this point i would always ask her why she and my father had returned to live in the country if they knew the dictatorship was so bad. and that's when my mother would tell me how, under pressure from his friends up north, trujillo pretended to be liberalizing his regime. how he invited all exiles back to form political parties. how he announced that he would not be running in the next elections. my father had returned only to discover that the liberalization was a hoax staged so that the regime could keep the goodwill and dollars of the united states. my father and mother were once again trapped in a police state. question: how do the passages work together to develop a central idea? a. the passages show how alvarez’s family was affected by the parsley massacres when they returned. b. the passages show how alvarez and her family were tricked into returning to the dominican republic. c. the passages show how people often did not know or understand the extent of trujillo’s deceit. d. the passages show how the events of trujillo’s dictatorship are still not fully understood today.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.

Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." and indeed there will be time to wonder, “do i dare? ” and, “do i dare? ” time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [they will say: “how his hair is growing thin! ”] my morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, my necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [they will say: “but how his arms and legs are thin! ”] do i dare disturb the universe? in a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. which lines indicate that the speaker is concerned about what others think of him?
