Question

1. teks 10.2b in paragraph 20, buck colbert franklin notes that the term

iot\ is contentious. based on the context of his preference for the word \pogrom,\ what is the nuance of his word choice? a.
iot\ implies a mutual conflict, whereas \pogrom\ emphasizes a systematic, organized persecution of a specific group. b.
iot\ is a more modern term, while \pogrom\ is an outdated european legal term. c.
iot\ suggests the violence was successful, while \pogrom\ suggests it was a failure. d. he uses \contentious\ to show that most historians now agree that
iot\ is the most accurate term.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the nuances of "riot" and "pogrom". A "riot" typically implies a chaotic, often mutual conflict. A "pogrom" is defined as a planned, systematic persecution (often violent) of a specific group (like ethnic/religious groups).

• Option B: "Pogrom" is not an outdated European legal term; it's about persecution, so B is wrong.
• Option C: Neither term inherently relates to success/failure of violence, so C is wrong.
• Option D: The question is about the nuance of "pogrom" vs "riot", not "contentious" meaning historians agree on "riot", so D is wrong.
• Option A: Matches the definitions: "riot" (mutual conflict) vs "pogrom" (systematic, organized persecution of a group).

Answer:

A. "Riot" implies a mutual conflict, whereas "pogrom" emphasizes a systematic, organized persecution of a specific group.
