Question

read the excerpt from \a genetics of justice\ by julia alvarez. perhaps because she had innocently revered him, my mother was now doubly revolted by this cold - blooded monster. he became something of an obsession with her—living as she was by then in exile with my father, isolated from her family who were still living on the island. as my sisters and i were growing up, trujillo and his excesses figured in many of my mothers cautionary tales. which details does the author include to support the central idea about how her mother felt about the dictator? select three options. ☐ \doubly revolted\ ☐ \obsession\ ☐ \in exile\ ☐ \isolated\ ☐ \cautionary tales\

Explanation:

1. "doubly revolted" directly states the mother's disgusted, negative feeling toward the dictator.
2. "obsession" shows the dictator occupied the mother's thoughts, a sign of the strong impact he had on her emotions.
3. "cautionary tales" reveals the mother repeatedly warned her children about the dictator, reflecting her deep-seated negative view of him.

The details "in exile" and "isolated" describe the mother's living situation, not her feelings about the dictator.

Answer:

• "doubly revolted"
• "obsession"
• "cautionary tales"
