Question

1. teks 10.5d paragraphs 14–15 describe the complicity between the city government and the mob. how does this cultural context support the author’s purpose in writing the article? a. it illustrates that the massacre was a spontaneous event caused by a single misunderstanding. b. it justifies the national guard’s decision to imprison 6,000 black citizens for their own safety. c. it highlights the systemic nature of the violence and the deliberate destruction of a successful community. d. it proves that the red cross was the only organization capable of helping the survivors.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The complicity between government and mob shows pre - planned/systematic violence, not a spontaneous event from a misunderstanding. Eliminate A.
• Option B: The government - mob complicity is about their wrongdoings, not justifying the National Guard's action (which was likely part of the unjust system). Eliminate B.
• Option C: Complicity between city government and mob implies that the violence was systemic (organized/supported by those in power) and aimed at destroying a successful community (like in events like the Tulsa Race Massacre). This aligns with showing the deliberate and systemic nature of the violence.
• Option D: The question is about government - mob complicity and author's purpose, not about the Red Cross being the only helper. Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. It highlights the systemic nature of the violence and the deliberate destruction of a successful community.
