Reading the passage
Our earlier main-point prediction also helps with purpose: the Pico campaign shows how a current struggle can unite an immigrant community and reconnect people with their roots. The final paragraph turns that particular experience into a lesson for other communities.
What we’re looking for
So we want both parts of what the writer is doing: describing the case and showing the model it offers. The labor dispute is the example, not an invitation to assess unionization everywhere.
Working the answers
- A
We hear about contacts and alliances, but not strong effects on other ethnic communities. The writer offers them a possible model; that's different from reporting that they have already been transformed by it.
- BCorrect
The Korean American experience is the situation; empowerment through involvement in current struggles is the broader model. The ending's “important lesson” connects the case to that purpose.
- C
The account centers on a campaign and the connections it created. It doesn't catalog the Korean American community's problems to establish that the community needs empowerment.
- D
Social justice is part of the cause's appeal, but condemning injustice abroad isn't the main purpose. The writer uses this struggle to explain community involvement and empowerment.
- E
One union's campaign provides the example. The writer isn't assessing the effects of the unionization movement on immigrant communities generally.
