Answer:
The statement that best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs is Alvarez explains that although her parents reacted differently to the stress they endured, both became silent about the dictatorship.
Explanation:
In this excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez, talks about the different perspectives people had towards their new freedom and how her parents did not agree in the way they needed to act now in order to be safe, she mentions that even when her father was very active against dictatorship at the beginning he changed through time.
Answer:
The answer to the question: What is the author´s purpose for including this statement, would be: To show the greatness, and yet the simplicity, of the innovations and discoveries that this researcher, Terry Sejnowski accomplished, regarding learning, on many fields, including language mastering. This neuroscientist, better known as Terrence Joseph Sejnowki, has been known around the world for his work on neural circuits, and other things regarding how the brain works, especially when it comes to learning, and mastering different fields of knowledge. What he showed through his multiple research is that learning is much simpler than it was used to believe, and it required the correct work of a neural circuit. He found that this neural circuit was the only thing necessary to ensure proper learning, and that is what the author in "Talking Robots" wanted to express through this excerpt.
1- <span>The ancient Chinese board game “Go” is invented long before there was any writing to record its rules. A game from the impossibly distant past has now brought us closer to a moment that once seemed part of an impossibly distant future: a time when machines are cleverer than we are.
<u>Because it's an action that started and finished in the past, this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past)</u>
2- </span><span>For years, Go was considered the last redoubt against the march of computers. Machines might win at chess, draughts, Othello, three-dimensional noughts and crosses, Monopoly, bridge, and poker. Go, though, is different.
<u>This continues the same line of mistake as the first paragraph. Because it's referencing something that already happened ("Go was considered...), this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past).</u>
The game required intuition, strategising <u>and</u> character reading, along with vast numbers of moves and permutations. According to legend, it was invented by a Chinese emperor to teach his subjects balance and patience: qualities unique to human intelligence.
<u>The conjunction and is used before the last element in a list. In this case, this word should be substituted by a comma because <em>character reading</em> is not the last element on that list.</u>
3- </span><span>This week, though, a computer called Alpha Go <u>defeats</u> the world’s best player of Go. It did so by “ learning” the game, crunching through 30 million positions from recorded matches, reacting and anticipating. It <u>evolves</u> as a player and taught itself.
That single game of Go marks a milestone on the road to the “technological singularity”, the moment when artificial intelligence becomes capable of self-improvement and learns faster than humans can control or understand.</span><span>
<u>These should read defeated ... evolved. This continues the same line of thought on subject-verb agreement. If it's talking about a past event, and the rest of the paragraph sustains that idea, then these verbs should be in Simple Past.</u></span><span>

The question ask to choose among the following choices that could support the said excerpt and the best answer would be letter B. the discrimination and bigotry faced by African Americans throughout history in the United States. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
I already used this for a test so you might want to rephrase it:
<span>Scientists have often wondered what bellybutton lint is made up of. An Austrain chemist named Georg Steinhauser decided to find out, and since he had a belly button, he searched himself! He examined over 500 pieces to see what the lint has occupied. He found that it has cotton from clothes, AND dead skin, sweat, basically the stuff our body resists and extracts. Goerg Steinhauser found all this out within a teeny tiny part of your stomach.

Hope this helps!
