It's unclear. Need to have better understanding how patterns of bilingualism, rates of immigration, and variations in ethnic consciousness impacts politics to answer the question.

The author describes Garciaβs view of the activists of the 1930s and 1940s in P1: βThrough analysis of the work of some of the era's most important scholars, GarcΓa does provide persuasive evidence that in the 1930s and 1940s these activists anticipated many of the reforms proposed by the more militant Chicanos of the 1960s and 1970s.β Apparently, Garcia presented evidence that the activists of the 1930s and 1940s anticipated some reforms that later activists fought for.

Garcia would likely agree with (A), because he presented evidence that the activists of the 1930s and 1940s anticipated some reforms that the activists of the 1960s and 1970s fought for.

We have no reason to think Garcia thinks the activists of the 1930s and 1940s were more politically diverse. Although Garcia does point out that the earlier activists anticipated some of the reforms proposed by later activists, this doesnβt suggest anything about the comparative level of political diversity among earlier and later activists.

We have no reason to think Garcia thinks the activists of the 1930s and 1940s were as militant as later activists. Although Garcia does point out that the earlier activists anticipated some of the reforms proposed by later activists, this doesnβt suggest that the earlier activists were just as militant. Notice that the author describes the later activists as βmore militantβ β although itβs not clear that Garcia agrees with that description, we have no reason to think he disagrees.

We know the Congress of Spanish Speaking People advocated bilingual education. We donβt know whether over half of activists from the 1930s and 1940s were part of the Congress.

Actually, Garcia believes the earlier activists were focused βon liberal reform, not revolution.β
