Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez. Perhaps because she had innocently revered him, my mother was now doubly revolted by this cold-blooded monster. He became something of an obsession with her—living as she was by then in exile with my father, isolated from her family who were still living on the Island. As my sisters and I were growing up, Trujillo and his excesses figured in many of my mother’s cautionary tales. Which details does the author include to support the central idea about how her mother felt about the dictator? Choose three correct answers.
“Doubly revolted” directly shows that the mother felt strong disgust toward Trujillo, and calling him an “obsession” shows how much he occupied her thoughts. The detail that Trujillo and his excesses appeared in her “cautionary tales” also supports her negative feelings: she used stories about him to warn her children. “In exile” and “isolated” describe her circumstances, not her feelings about the dictator.
