DISCUSSION: Many lines in the first and second paragraphs quote Garcia’s opinions directly. So for this type of question you should look to justify the answer by finding a line in the passage. Garcia literally says the right answer.
___________
- CORRECT. Lines 7-10 say this directly. Those lines mean that activists of the 1930-40s were proposing reforms similar to those in 1960-70.
- Lines 4-5 show that Garcia thought the early activists were more diverse than has been acknowledged.
Garcia never compares the early activists to those of 1960-70, so we can’t know his opinion on this question. - There’s no evidence for this. Lines 7-10 suggest that Garcia thought the 1960-70 activists were more radical. (We can’t be sure, since those lines are the author speaking. The main point is that we don’t know Garcia’s opinion of this answer choice.)
- This is only true of the Congress of Spanish-Speaking People, lines 24-26. Garcia didn’t say that most Mexican American political activists agreed with the Congress.
- Actually, lines 26-30 say that Garcia thought all groups agreed on liberal reform as a goal.
