Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- Option 1: Memmott's excerpt is about the 1937 event (well after), but Alvarez's is about her teen years (not during events occurring), so incorrect.
- Option 2: Memmott focuses on the "Parsley Massacre" (a specific event), not the dictatorship as a whole. Alvarez talks about her family's experience, not the event as a whole. Incorrect.
- Option 3: Memmott presents facts (e.g., number killed, when it happened) objectively. Alvarez gives personal details (her parents' whispers, family's experience). This matches.
- Option 4: Memmott presents facts, not an anecdote. Alvarez talks about her family, not just how it affected people generally. Incorrect.

# Answer: Memmott presents facts about the dictatorship objectively, while Alvarez gives details about how it affected people.
