  2. A diplomat says: 'We would be remiss not to consider all consequences of this decision.' What tone and meaning is being conveyed?

    Erasure from official records is a classic historical and political signal of purging or forced disappearance.

  5. A broadcast states: 'The government has taken note of the international community's concerns.' What is implied by this response?

  6. A DLPT passage describes a leader who 'consulted with trusted advisors before reaching his decision alone.' What is implied about governance style?
