📖 Explanation:

Let’s analyze each option using the text provided:

- Option A: *“Emiliano Zapata was considered one of Mexico’s greatest artists.”*
✘ False. The text says Emiliano Zapata was “considered one of Mexico’s greatest radicals,” not an artist. He was a revolutionary leader.

- Options B, D, F, I, J: All state *“Emiliano Zapata was born in 1879 and died in 1919.”*
✘ False. The text clearly states: “Zapata was born on August 8, 1879... On April 10, 1919, he was assassinated.” — So while the birth year is correct, the death date is April 10, 1919, not just “1919” without context. More importantly, the text never mentions Emiliano Zapata’s death year as 1919 in isolation — it gives the full date. But even if we accept that, this option is misleading because the text doesn’t say “died in 1919” — it says “assassinated on April 10, 1919.” However, technically, yes, he died in 1919. BUT — wait! Look again at the text: It says “On April 10, 1919, he was assassinated.” So he did die in 1919. But why are there multiple identical options? This suggests a formatting error.

However, let’s check the most accurate answer based on the text.

- Option C: *“There were periods of Frida Kahlo’s life when she was separated from Diego Rivera.”*
✔ TRUE. The text explicitly states:
> “Kahlo and Rivera were married in 1929, but their marriage was troubled… They divorced in 1939, but remarried the following year.”
This confirms they were separated (divorced) for a period before remarrying.

- Option E: *“Frida Kahlo was friends with Frida Franco.”*
✘ False. The text mentions “Frida Franco” only once, as someone who “was born in Mexico City and moved to New York City in 1926.” There is no mention of friendship between Frida Kahlo and Frida Franco.

- Options G & H: *“Frida Kahlo was born in 1907 and died in 1954.”*
✘ False. The text says:
> “Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907... She died on July 13, 1954.”
So technically, this is true — she was born in 1907 and died in 1954. But option C is more directly supported by the narrative and involves a significant life event (separation from Rivera), which is highlighted in the text. Also, note that options G and H are identical, which may indicate a duplication error.

---

🧠 Final Decision:

While both C and G/H are factually true based on the text, C is the best answer because:

- It reflects a key biographical detail emphasized in the text (her turbulent marriage).
- The question asks for “which statement is TRUE”, and C is unambiguously supported.
- Options G and H are redundant and might be a trick or error in formatting.
- The repeated options for Zapata (B, D, F, I, J) are likely distractors or errors.

---

✔ Therefore, the correct and best-supported answer is:

> C. There were periods of Frida Kahlo’s life when she was separated from Diego Rivera.
