Reading the passage
We need a feature supported for both forms. The early actos developed from workers' experiences and were meant to satirize the opposition. Carpas were informal shows described as often satirical. That gives us a shared use of satire, even though their settings and histories differed.
Working the answers
- A
Valdez's European training influenced the actos. We aren't told that carpas had European roots. A feature associated with one contributor to the actos cannot automatically be assigned to the earlier form.
- B
Valdez had belonged to the San Francisco Mime Troupe. That doesn't establish that the troupe studied both actos and carpas.
- C
Actos began at the fields' edges; carpas were performed in tents. A tent could stand on a farm, but the author doesn't place these tents there. We cannot fill in the location ourselves.
- DCorrect
Actos should “satirize the opposition,” and carpas are described as “often satirical.” Those two statements provide support for both sides of the comparison.
- E
Actos were used in union organizing. Carpas had mainly working-class audiences, but working-class does not mean unionized, and we aren't told those shows were part of organizing drives.
