Question Type

It’s difficult to predict the correct answer just based on the question stem, since the whole passage is about the Latina autobiographies. Let’s just go to the answers.
a
Each contains some ████████ ████ █████ ██████████ ██ ████████ ██ █████████ ██ █ █████ ██ ██████████ █████ ████ ██████████████
Supported by P2. Anzaldua’s work involves poetry. Moraga’s work involves a “mixture of genres.” And Getting Home Alive involves poems. The author also calls the works “multigeneric.”
b
Each quotes from ██████████ ███████████ ███████ ████████ ██ █████ ███████ ██████████
We don’t know that each of the quotes from “unpublished” private documents.
We’re not told that each work analyzes the ways in which its content was influenced by cultural background. Don’t confuse the passage author’s commentary on what influenced the works with the Latina authors’ own analysis of how they were influenced.
One work involved multiple voices. We’re not told that each work did.
e
Each includes explanations ██ ███ █████████████ ████ ███ ███████ ██ ████████ ████ ██ ███████ ███ ██████████████
We’re not told that each work explains its own methodologies. One work arguably does (Moraga’s), but we don’t know that the other works do. Don’t confuse the passage author’s commenting on each author’s methodology with the Latina authors’ own explanations of their methodologies.
