Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez. My mother must have been intrigued. She knew nothing of the horr

id crimes of the dictatorship, for her parents were afraid to say anything—even to their own children—against the regime. So, as a young girl, my mother must have thought of El Jefe as a kind of movie star. She must have wanted to meet the great man. What is the central idea in this paragraph? Her mother's image of the great man did not match reality. Her mother loved movie stars when she was a young girl. Her mother and her family kept secrets from one another. Her family talked about the horrid crimes of the dictatorship.

The answer is: Her mother's image of the great man did not match reality.

In the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice," the author Julia Alvarez claims her mother did not know about the horrific atrocities of dictatorship Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. One of the reasons is her parents were too afraid to mention anything contrary to the system to protect her children. As a result, when she was a child, Alvarez's mother must have thought Trujillo was a film star and might have wished to meet him.

Read the passage below from “Marigolds” and answer question. Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle h
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Humorous

Explanation:

Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame siding from white to a sullen gray. The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay.

"like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements."

fgiga [73]

Remaining healthy in Elizabethan England was a challenge.

This is the central idea of the passage. We know this because it says, "there is no concept of 'health and safety'. Other details that reveal this as a central idea are "contemporary standards of cleanliness will worry you", "People die every day from unknown ailments", and "Infectious diseases periodically kill thousands". This all shows that remaining healthy in England was a challenge.
