“What would Fugita and O’Brien likely agree with?”

___________

1. Lines 29-32 show that Fugita and O’Brien think that the Japanese-American community weakened over time.
2. CORRECT. See lines 12-17. Fugita and O’Brien say that Japanese-Americans assimilated and kept their community.
3. See lines 44-46. Fugita and O’Brien argue that peoplehood is stronger than family ties.
4. These factors demonstrate assimilation, they’re mentioned on lines 19-24. But nonetheless, Fugita and O’Brien think that the Japanese community is strong (lines 16-17).
5. Lines 16-17 contradict this. Fugita and O’Brien’s argument is that the Japanese are noteworthy because they have been able to keep a sense of community (lines 36-39).
