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.

Why did Churchill replace Chamberlain as Britain's new prime minister shortly after World War II began?
Natasha2012 [34]

There should have been options to choose from for this question. I found the options elsewhere and the correct answer would be because Churchill had a better understanding of the situation with Hitler than Chamberlain did.

Churchill knew that diplomacy would not work with Hitler and the only way to reach a resolution was through military force and tactics.

How does the passage foreshadow doodles death
stich3 [128]
In The Scarlet Ibis, there are many instances of foreshadowing through motifs that we see at the end all represents Doodle's death. One example is the Ibis itself, which had represented Doodle since the beginning. It was injured, just like him, and died, which he would eventually do. On a deeper level, the passage discusses the seasons. Originally, Doodle was born in the Spring. However, he begins to learn how to walk in the Summer a few years later. Doodle begins to get worse in Autumn because he has less training, and eventually, he dies in the Winter.
