Answer:

B Any good that Trujillo did for the Dominican Republic was far outweighed by the corruption and terror he oversaw as the country’s president.

D The Mirabal sisters are feminist icons that should be celebrated for their willingness to sacrifice their lives.

Explanation:

I believe the question is related to the article entitled "Trujillo & the Mirabal Sisters."

Rafael Trujillo Molina was a ruler of Dominican Republic from 1930 to 1961. Although he accomplish many things as a leader such as building public roads and reducing the nation's debt, his corruption and terror outweighed this. He was known for enjoying savagery and became responsible for the "Parsley Massacre," which killed many Haitians.

On the other hand, the Mirabal sisters were feminists icons who did not fear Trujillo's tyranny. The sisters consisted of Patria, Maria Teresa and Minerva Mirabal. The code name that they used was "Las Mariposas." They showed their opposition to Trujillo's dictatorship by forming a movement that would overthrow Trujillo. This showed that they were willing to sacrifice their lives despite the risk involved in such a police state.

So, this explains the answers.

What significance does the repetition of the world of raga have in this excerpt from "Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Les

Bogdan [553]

Raga is a piece of Indian music that is rhythmic and used spontaneously.

The use of repetition in the line "I sing a mad raga/I sing a mad raga/a glad raga...is being used as a sort of call to arms, a mantra, a chant for equality in our society. It is something that people could copy and easily remember.

The use of reception of the word is also a form of anaphora. Used before each new idea, it makes the idea itself stand out. raga of yellow/raga of mellow/raga of new/raga of old/raga of blue/raga of gold.
