Question

which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
a cholitas luchadoras are achieving international fame, but they still face resistance from a variety of critics.
b over the years, female luchadoras have seen as much popularity and success as the male luchadores.
c the rising trend of lucha libre has significantly influenced bolivian culture, norms, and fashion.
d indigenous bolivian women brave constant criticism to counter the stereotypes they are associated with.

Explanation:

To determine the main idea, we analyze each option:

• Option B: The passage likely doesn't state female luchadoras have equal popularity to males, so this is incorrect.
• Option C: The focus is on Cholitas luchadoras (Indigenous Bolivian women wrestlers), not just the trend of lucha libre influencing culture, so this is off - topic.
• Option D: While it mentions criticism and stereotypes, it doesn't specifically tie to their wrestling (luchadoras) fame.
• Option A: Cholitas luchadoras (Indigenous Bolivian women wrestlers) are gaining international fame (from wrestling) and still face criticism from various people, which fits the likely main idea of the passage about these female wrestlers.

Answer:

A. Cholitas luchadoras are achieving international fame, but they still face resistance from a variety of critics.
