Which statement do you agree with and why? "The scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not
reflect a true America, do not represent
who we are." - President-Elect Joe Biden

"This is exactly what America is and has
always been."- response of hundreds of social justice movement leaders on social media

This is a more opinionated question, but in my opinion, I would say the second statement. The government does not enforce a system of order but rather that of disorder (which in of itself is a form of order). The world has always been broken and America is no exception to that. America is chaotic, America is broken, and America hides behind the mask of perfection and beauty. If even the president denies the actions at the Capitol as an accurate representation of us, we have an issue bigger than all of us with no hope of saving.

Also, don’t take my answer necessarily to heart. This is purely opinionated based on the way the question is asked. I hope i helped though!!

The answer is challenging and taxing because arduous means when something is hard and tiring and the excerpt provides clear detail why that's the answer
