c) campaign for human rights
d) challenge government power
e) fight for truth and democracy

The correct answers are C, D and E. The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo campaigned for human rights, challenged government power and fought for truth and democracy in Argentina.

During the years of the Argentine military dictatorship, from 1976 to 1983, they were constantly opposed to the measures taken by the government, suffering constant persecution, including kidnappings and disappearances.

In spite of the arrival of democracy in the country, in 1983, they continued with their marches and acts, asking for condemnation for the military that participated in the government. They have received support and recognition in a large number of international organizations and given their support to many other groups fighting for human rights.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
