Question

read the two excerpts.

emembering to never forget dominican republics parsley massacre\ by mark memmott:
as for trujillo, he stayed in power until 1961, when he was assassinated. last year, the bbc spoke with one of the army officers who killed the dictator. \the only way to get rid of him was to kill him,\ gen. antonio imbert told the bbc.
\a genetics of justice\ by julia alvarez:
on may 30, 1961, nine months after our escape from our homeland, the group of plotters with whom my father had been associated assassinated the dictator. actually, dominicans do not refer to the death as an assassination but as an ajusticiamiento, a bringing to justice. finally, after thirty - one years, trujillo was brought to justice, found guilty, and executed
the subject of both passages is
○ the circumstances under which trujillo died
○ how trujillos death affected individuals
○ how trujillo improved the dominican republic
○ what life was like under the dictatorship

Explanation:

• The first excerpt talks about Trujillo's assassination and an officer's view on it. The second excerpt talks about the assassination (referred to as "ajusticiamiento") of Trujillo.
• Option 2 is incorrect as there's no focus on how his death affected individuals. Option 3 is incorrect as the excerpts don't discuss his improvements. Option 4 is incorrect as they don't talk about life under dictatorship. Option 1 is correct as both passages revolve around the circumstances of Trujillo's death (assassination/ajusticiamiento).

Answer:

A. the circumstances under which Trujillo died
