how is wiesel’s memoir effective in addressing the horrors of the holocaust? choose three correct answers.

• it allows wiesel to address a difficult subject in a deeply personal way.
• it allows wiesel a sense of emotional detachment in writing about a difficult subject.
• wiesel’s personal reflection on the holocaust illustrates its lingering impact on...

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

1. "It allows Wiesel to address a difficult subject in a deeply personal way."

Memoirs are personal accounts, so Wiesel’s memoir (a personal recount of his Holocaust experience) would let him tackle the Holocaust (a difficult subject) with personal depth. This is correct.

1. "It allows Wiesel a sense of emotional detachment in writing about a difficult subject."

Memoirs are personal and emotional; a memoir about the Holocaust (a traumatic event Wiesel experienced) would involve emotional engagement, not detachment. This is incorrect.

1. "Wiesel’s personal reflection on the Holocaust illustrates its lingering impact on him and other survivors."

A memoir with personal reflections (like Wiesel’s) can show how the Holocaust affected him and others long - term. This is correct (though the option text is cut off, the context of “lingering impact” fits memoir’s personal - reflection - driven nature to highlight the Holocaust’s effects).

Assuming the third option (partially visible) is valid (e.g., “Wiesel’s personal reflection on the Holocaust illustrates its lingering impact on him and other survivors”) and the first option, we identify the correct ones:

Answer:

• It allows Wiesel to address a difficult subject in a deeply personal way.
• Wiesel’s personal reflection on the Holocaust illustrates its lingering impact on him and other survivors. (And a third valid option, e.g., if there was one about the memoir’s ability to humanize the Holocaust through personal stories, but from the given, the two clear/correct ones are as above, with the third likely fitting the memoir’s purpose of personal testimony to convey the Holocaust’s horrors.)

(Note: For the full three - answer set, we’d need the complete third option, but from analysis, the first and the partially visible third (about lingering impact) are correct, and the second is incorrect.)
