Question

read the excerpt from
emembering to never forget dominican republics parsley massacre\ by mark memmott.
writer and middlebury college professor julia alvarez, the daughter of dominicans and someone who lived there as a child, said on tell me more today that the killings must be acknowledged and testified to. \we cant change the present or the future unless we acknowledge what has happened,\ she told guest host celeste hèadlee. \theres no place on this planet anymore where that should be happening. its time that the people themselves say... thats enough.\
which details support alvarezs ideas about the situation in her home country? select two options.
□ \the daughter of dominicans\
□ \we cant change the present\
□ \acknowledge what has happened\
□ \on this planet\
□ \thats enough\

Explanation:

1. "we can't change the present" directly ties to Alvarez's core argument that acknowledging past atrocities (the Parsley Massacre) is necessary to move forward with the present and future.
2. "acknowledge what has happened" is explicitly stated by Alvarez as a requirement for addressing the legacy of violence in her home country.

The other options either describe her identity, are general phrasing, or a concluding call that does not directly support her specific ideas about the country's situation.

Answer:

• "we can't change the present"
• "acknowledge what has happened"
