Question

analyzing the development of a central idea
everywhere in the streets there were demonstrations for and against the veil.
from persepolis by marjane satrapi
how does the caption develop the central idea?
○ it shows that most women choose not to protest wearing veils.
○ it demonstrates the differing opinions among women in iranian society.
○ it illustrates that there is strong anti-religious sentiment in iran.
○ it explains why the narrators mother is opposed to wearing a veil.

Explanation:

The caption "EVERYWHERE IN THE STREETS THERE WERE DEMONSTRATIONS FOR AND AGAINST THE VEIL" paired with the image of women chanting both "the veil!" and "freedom!" (against the veil) directly shows conflicting views among Iranian women about the veil, which aligns with one option. Other options are incorrect: the image doesn't show most women avoiding protest, doesn't focus on anti-religious sentiment broadly, and doesn't explain the narrator's mother's specific opposition.

Answer:

B. It demonstrates the differing opinions among women in Iranian society.
