Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez.

Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

If you did not march, your cédula would not be stamped, and without a stamped identification card, you could do nothing; in particular, you could not obtain your passport to leave the country under the pretext of wanting to study heart surgery. This was the second escape—this time with his whole family—that my father was planning.

The day came when my mother had to march.

Which statement best explains how the author develops the central idea throughout the passage?

Alvarez shows that the parades were embarrassing but were not a serious matter.
Alvarez shows that Trujillo enjoyed it when people paid attention to him.
Alvarez shows that refusing to obey Trujillo's requests could be dangerous.
Alvarez shows that women played an important part in political life.

In the first place—I wanted him and said so
when I had only meant to say. His eyes
opened beyond open as if such force would unlock me to the other side where daylight gave reason
for him to redress.
When he put on his shirt, after I asked him to keep it off, to keep putting off
the night’s usual end, his face changed beneath the shirt: surprise to grin, to how even the body of another’s desire can be a cloak behind which
to change one’s power, to find it.

2.
In the first place he slept, he opened the tight heat of me that had been
the only haven he thought to give a name:
Is-it-mine? Why-you-running? Don’t-run-from-it—as though through questions doubt would find its way away from me,
as though telling me what to do told me who I was.

You have been asked to write an essay about the effects of large amounts of sugar in the typical American diet. Which of the following contains the best thesis statement and supporting ideas for this essay? Thesis statement: People eat far too much sugar each day in America. High sugar consumption leads to obesity, diabetes, cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and tooth decay. Supporting details: You should avoid all foods that are made with high fructose corn syrup because it is loaded in calories and has lots of chemicals and other toxins. Did you know that dentists sometimes will "buy" candy from kids after Halloween so that they will not eat the mounds of candy they get trick-or-treating? What a fantastic idea to help keep kids from getting cavities. Recently in New York the mayor banned large sweetened drinks so people cannot go around with humongous containers of pop and the like. I think that is a great first step to getting the sugar monster under control. Thesis statement: Americans consume large amounts of sugar in their daily diets, which leads to a variety of health problems. Supporting details: The average American eats or drinks 82 grams of sugar a day, equaling about 66 pounds of sugar each year per person. That is almost three times the recommended amount. Sugary foods contain high calories that have no essential nutrients, like vitamins, minerals, or proteins. A diet too high in sugar can be linked to a variety of chronic health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Thesis statement: There are about 33 grams of sugar in a can of soda, so there should be a high tax on sodas to keep people from ruining their health. Supporting details: Sugar is highly addictive. Some studies show it behaves like a drug in our brains. The USDA says that men should have no more than 9 teaspoons or 36 grams of sugar a day; women should have no more than 6 teaspoons or 24 grams of sugar a day. Author Gary Taubes wrote this about the science of why sugar is linked to obesit
