Solution

The main revelation from the lines provided is that American authorities appear to be downplaying the severity of the situation in Rwanda. So, the correct answer is B. American authorities appear to be downplaying the severity of the situation in Rwanda. This is inferred from the specific guidance mentioned not to use the word "genocide" in isolation, but to always preface it with "acts of", which can be seen as an attempt to lessen the impact of the term and therefore the perceived severity of the situation.
