It can most reasonably be ████████ ████ ███ ███████ ████ ███ ██████ █████ █████ ████ █████ ███ ██ ███ █████████ ███████████

Not supported. We’re never given any evidence that Mexican American writers want to create a literary establishment like that in Mexico City.

The use of █ ███████ ██ ████ ███████ ███ ███████ ██ ███████ ███████ ████████ ██████████ ██ ████████ ██ █ █████ ████████████ ███████

The author never suggests a transitional period is “brief.” She never characterizes the length of the transitional period as short or long.

The author never suggests that anyone in Mexico is offended by the use of a romanticized Mexico. Although the Mexican literary community views Mexican American literature as simple and regional, this doesn’t imply that it takes offense at anything in the literature.

Supported, because the author notes that Mexican American literature is often “simple in structure,” but “can be richly textured in its complex mix of concerns.”

The author never suggests Mexican American writers have any concerns about Mexico being diminished. Although she indicates that the writers believe Mexico is important, there is no evidence of concern that Mexico will become less important.
