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<em> Dominican Republic</em> from <u>1930 to 1961</u>. Although he accomplish many things as a leader such as<em> building public roads</em> and<em> reducing the nation's debt,</em> <u>his corruption and terror outweighed this. </u>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 <em>feminists icons</em> who did not fear Trujillo's tyranny. The sisters consisted of<em> Patria, Maria Teresa</em> and <em>Minerva Mirabal</em>. The code name that they used was <u>"Las Mariposas."</u> 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.

Ainat [17]

The falling action is the section of the story that is right after the climax (or rising action) end, and before the very end of the story. During the falling action, Erika may find that the tensions experimented in the conflicts of the previous section is now decreasing, the characters may be more relaxed or relief, probably displaying a trait or new insight that they have acquired along the story or might find themselves processing what just happened in the climax.

However, although this section usually de-escalates the conflict, it might introduce a new conflict or a plot twist. Authors tend to do this when they intend to keep the interest in the readers and add suspense for the next upcoming story.
