Question 4 • English 10 B E-Learning
Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez.My mother must have been intrigued. She knew nothing of the horrid 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.
Answer
A
Her mother's image of the great man did not match reality.
B
Her mother loved movie stars when she was a young girl.
C
Her mother and her family kept secrets from one another.
D
Her family talked about the horrid crimes of the dictatorship.
Explanation
Because her parents kept the dictatorship’s crimes from her, the mother knew only the public image of El Jefe. She may have imagined him as a glamorous movie star, but that image hid the reality of his cruel regime. Therefore, “Her mother's image of the great man did not match reality” is the best choice.
