Read the following sentences from the text.

“In 1962, Chavez and fellow organizer Dolores Huerta founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA).

In 1965, Chavez and Huerta agreed to honor a walkout by farm workers in Delano, California, who were in another union, the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee. Workers in the NFWA (formed by Chavez and Huerta) were asked not to work for the Delano grape growers. This strike was called a huelga (pronounced WELL-guh) in Spanish. In 1966, the National Farm Workers Association joined with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee to form the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC), later renamed the United Farm Workers.”

What conclusion can you draw from this evidence?

The NFWA workers decided to work for the Delano grape growers because that farm paid more money than where they were working.

It would have been better for the NFWA and Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee to stay separate so they could hold strikes in different places.

Chavez thought it was important to work with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee because Dolores Huerta was leading it.

The NFWA and Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee were facing similar struggles so they supported each other and eventually joined together.
