Read the passage about the life of Cesar Chavez.

Cesar Chavez was born on March 31, 1927, near Yuma, Arizona. Chavez is best known for his use of nonviolent means to draw attention to the poor working conditions of farm workers in the United States. He also formed the National Farm Workers Association in 1962. In 1972, the National Farm Workers Association merged with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee to become the United Farm Workers. Chavez led marches, boycotts, and hunger strikes. It is believed that these hunger strikes may have contributed to his death on April 23, 1993.

Chavez dedicated his life to improving the lives of farm workers, a life with which he was very familiar. Until he was ten, his parents had owned a farm. They lost this farm during the Great Depression, and he and his family became migrant farm workers. Chavez had to work even harder after his father was injured in an automobile accident. He knew all too well about the poor pay and terrible working conditions withstood by farm workers. Chavez used nonviolent means to fight for the improved treatment, pay, and working conditions of farm workers. He was instrumental in organizing one such famous strike against the California grape growers in 1965, a battle that lasted for years. At one point, Chavez even called for a national boycott against the grape growers. His efforts over the years resulted in several victories for farm workers. After his death, Chavez was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Which fact would be best to include to help nominate Chavez for the "Most Dedicated” category?
A. Chavez believed in using nonviolent methods to achieve his goals.
B. Chavez worked most of his life to improve the lives of farm workers.
C. Chavez received the Presidential Medal of Freedom after his death.
D. Chavez understood the conditions that migrant farm workers faced.

The Road Not Taken
By: Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference

Curious to know more about the daring young girl below, the bulky Rivera made the slow descent to the ground floor. Kahlo wasted no time in preliminaries. . . . "I have come to show you my paintings," she told him audaciously. She told him her name and Rivera remembered that just a few years earlier, the director of the National Preparatory had told him that the girl who had caused him so much trouble was the same Frida Kahlo. Instead of becoming angry at Kahlo's audacity, the unconventional artist was delighted to meet his former tormentor face to face.

The author seems to admire Frida Kahlo's brave personality. Which detail supports these feelings?

Diego Rivera remembered hearing Frida Kahlo's name from the National Preparatory director.
Diego Rivera quickly climbed down to meet Frida Kahlo.
Diego Rivera was an unconventional artist.
Diego Rivera was not angry with Frida's boldness; he was happy to meet her.
