Answer:
Alvarez shows how her lifelong fascination with her parents' life under the dictatorship was the basis for her writing is correct.
Explanation:
"A genetics of justice" is a book by Julia Alvarez, an American poet and writer whose parents were born in Dominican Republic and lived under Rafael Trujillo's dictatorship, that took place between 1930 and 1961. The book develops this topic and also what the author's perspective was.
In the three excertps, readers can understand that Alvarez learnt a lot from what her parents lived, and this seems to be a very reliable source for her, including words and non verbal signs, such as whispering and her parents' faces when they discussed something related to Trujillo. This fascination and mystery surrounding the dictator could have been the basis for her writing, as we can see in this work and some others written by her; we can also see this in the last excerpt, when her sister told her mother Julia was writing about this topic.
In this excerpt of his speech, Wiesel encourages the world to 'take sides' and work to end suffering (A).
He does not want people to be passive and simply stay neutral (C) or on the sidelines (B). He wants people to take position: "I swore never to be silent," "We must always take sides." Through parallelism, he also blames inaction for feeding into the problem: "Neutrality helps the oppressor" // "Silence encourages the tormentor."
Neither does he believe that thinking about race, religion or political views (D) is enough. He is urging people to take action to defend citizens from discrimination. This is shown by the use of the action verb "interfere."
The best options for this question are D and E.
