○ memmott argues that all memories should be commemorated.
○ memmott explains that the border of lights commemoration is an adequate way of honoring victims.
○ memmott explains that the tragedy is not well known today and then shows why it is worth remembering.

Explanation:

Passage A introduces a commemoration for a little-known tragedy. Passage B then details the cruelty of Trujillo and the ongoing impact of the tragedy, justifying why this forgotten event deserves remembrance. The other options are incorrect: the first only addresses Passage B, the second is too broad (the text focuses on one specific tragedy, not all memories), and the third is not supported as the text does not claim the commemoration is "adequate."

Answer:

Memmott explains that the tragedy is not well known today and then shows why it is worth remembering.
