Reading the passage
I remember her Marxist influence, but that isn't enough to name her attitude toward Mexico's development. Let's find the specific statement. In the last paragraph she supports planned economic growth while insisting on preserving cultural identity (paragraph 4). She supports development with a reservation.
Working the answers
- A
Enthusiastic catches support, but misses the reservation emphasized in that sentence. We need a description that includes the cultural cost she won't accept.
- B
Condemnatory goes the wrong way. She favors planned development; she doesn't denounce it.
- CCorrect
Cautious captures the condition attached to her support. Development is welcome only if cultural identity isn't sacrificed. That needn't mean she opposes development or wants a particular pace of it.
- D
She does take a position: support subject to that cultural limit. Having a condition isn't the same as refusing to commit.
- E
The sentence doesn't suggest that she is unsure what she wants. It identifies both her preference and its boundary.
