(1) These are not moments in Asian American History, this is AMERICAN history. (2) When we are erased from our history books, we are made invisible to our own society, and the result is, as Congresswoman Meng so eloquently put it, “we are perpetually made to feel like foreigners in our own country.” (3) Include our stories. (4) Because they matter.

Question

Answer 1

The line that best exemplifies antithesis from the passage is:

(2) "When we are erased from our history books, we are made invisible to our own society, and the result is, as Congresswoman Meng so eloquently put it, 'we are perpetually made to feel like foreigners in our own country.'"

This line contrasts the idea of being part of society (not erased, visible) versus being made invisible and feeling like foreigners, highlighting a stark opposition in experiences and identities.
