Lines 20-21 give us the answer. Mexican intellectuals didn’t like the US intervening in labor disputes.

___________

1. CORRECT. A labor dispute is usually an internal affair, so this works. See lines 20-21.
2. This answer tries to confuse you alluding to a modern phenomenon. Many Mexicans emigrate now, but we’re not told if they did in the 1920-30s.
3. The Mexican intellectuals seemed focussed on Aztec values, on Marxism and on equality. Competitiveness is never mentioned.
4. This might have been true for Kahlo; it’s suggested by the subject of Kahlo’s painting in lines 40-41. But we don’t know if all Mexican nationalists felt the same way.
5. The Mexican intellectuals liked Marxism, but we don’t know if they liked the Soviet Union. There were different types of Marxism.
    
   The Mexicans seemed to prefer their idealized vision of Aztec Marxism.
