Question

as a monthly newsletter formed in 1969 by a group of asian american students at the university of california, los angeles, gidra helped raise awareness about social and political issues concerning the asian american community on campus and at large. the newsletter had an expansive reach for a publication of its kind: around 4,000 copies were published each month. a student writing a history paper, however, hypothesizes that gidra’s influence cannot be measured by the number of newsletters published monthly alone.
which finding, if true, would most directly support the student’s hypothesis?
choose 1 answer.
a the students who initially formed gidra each contributed financially to its creation.
b gidra was initially based out of the asian american studies center at ucla.
c people would often give their copies of gidra to others once they had finished reading an issue.
d in addition to covering current events, gidra also featured works of art and literature.

Explanation:

To support the hypothesis that Gidra’s influence isn’t just measured by monthly copies, we need a finding showing its reach exceeds the number of published copies. Option C says people gave their copies to others, meaning one copy reached multiple people, so influence is broader than the 4,000 monthly copies. Options A (financial contribution) and B (location) don’t relate to influence beyond copy count. Option D (content type) doesn’t address how influence is measured.

Answer:

C. People would often give their copies of Gidra to others once they had finished reading an issue.
