Itβs difficult to anticipate the correct answer, because the author discusses Mexican American political activists throughout most of the passage. Letβs rely on process of elimination.

Although the activists were less militant, the author doesnβt believe this is due to their common goal of liberal reform. In fact, the author criticizes Garcia for emphasizing consensus among the activists rather than the differences among them.

Supported by P2. The author criticizes Garcia for emphasizing the consensus among the activists rather than the differences among them: βhe undermines his primary thesis by emphasizing an underlying consensus among various groups that tends to conceal the full significance of their differences.β

Thereβs no evidence the author believes the activists were βevenly divided.β We have no reason to think the author believes there was a 50/50 split as opposed to 60/40 or 70/30.
