Answer 1

D. the social movement begins to fall apart. APEX

Answer 2

The answer is D: The social movement begins to fall apart.

A social movement has many stages, from its point of creation (when an idea for change, reform, or revolution begins to mobilize a group of people following it) to its success or demise (either the success of the instauration of the idea of the falling apart of the movement), and each social movement is unique. However, all social movements could be said to share the two aforementioned moments, and so, when a social movement enters a stage of decline, it can be said that such social movement has begun to fall apart and will soon meet its demise.
