Read the excerpt from "a genetics of justice” by julia alvarez. on may 30, 1961, nine months after our escape from our homeland, the group of plotters with whom my father had been associated assassinated the dictator. actually, dominicans do not refer to the death as an assassination but as an ajusticiamiento, a bringing to justice. finally, after thirty-one years, trujillo was brought to justice, found guilty, and executed. but the execution was an external event, not necessarily an internal exorcism. all their lives my parents, along with a nation of dominicans, had learned the habits of repression, censorship, terror. those habits would not disappear with a few bullets and a national liberation proclamation. they would not disappear on a plane ride north that put hundreds of miles distance between the island and our apartment in new york. which statement best explains how the author develops the central idea throughout the passage? the author explains that, even after trujillo was killed, her parents continued to fear the dictatorship. the author explains that the assassination freed her parents from fear, allowing them to leave the country. the author explains that, after trujillo was killed, her family was able to escape to the united states. the author explains that, even though trujillo was executed, her parents found new reasons to fear him.

The author explains that, even after Trujillo was killed, her parents continued to fear the dictatorship.

The author tells us of the assassination of Trujillo on May 30, 1961. She also tells us that this happened nine months after they had left the Dominican Republic. However, she also states that her family had spent years learning to fear the dictatorship and to follow its laws. And that those habits were not easy to forget. Therefore, she implies that even though the dictator was dead, her parents still felt fear towards the dictatorship.

Explanation:

b. brooks wrote about the same type of neighborhood in which she grew up.

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.

happy to .

pls mark as brainliest.
