- A. I only
- B. I and II only
- C. I and III only
- D. II and III only
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A This is a Retrieval/Roman numeral question.
I: True. The passage states that clumping together the culturally diverse groups that make up the Hispanic population results in a limited and inaccurate picture of "the physical, emotional, and financial impact of cancer in Hispanic patients and their families" (paragraph 4).
II: False. While barriers, in general, are mentioned within the passage, specific language barriers are not addressed and are outside of the scope of the passage.
III: False. The author states that "community-based lay health educators" working with "health departments … can be successful" (paragraph 5).
