Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Informational text typically presents facts, not opinions, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: A memoir is about personal experiences, not just historical events (though events may be part of it), so this is not the best fit.
• Option c: Informational text focuses on facts, but the question is about sharing point of view, which a memoir (personal account) is better for. So this is incorrect.
• Option d: A memoir is a personal account, so the author sharing her observations of situations she experienced in Iran fits how a memoir genre allows sharing point of view.

We define each option:

• Option a: "Oppression" means prolonged cruel or unjust treatment, which matches the definition.
• Option b: "Position" refers to a place or status, not related.
• Option c: "Opossum" is an animal, not related.
• Option d: "Oposition" (likely a misspelling of "opposition") means resistance, not the same as cruel/unjust treatment.

We analyze the context: "Teaching classes in Nafisi's home enabled her students to continue learning..." So "enable" here means to give the opportunity to do something.

• Option a: "Showed promise" is not related to allowing someone to do something.
• Option b: "Ability" is a noun, "enable" is a verb, so this is incorrect.
• Option c: "Gave a warning" is not related.
• Option d: "Gave an opportunity" matches the context of allowing students to continue learning.

Answer:

d. In this memoir, the author shares her observations of situations she experienced in Iran.
