The answer is B. "The coffee shop was usually full" and "Today there were many open tables" are both independent clauses joined together with the coordinating conjunction "but" :)
Answer and Explanation:
After reading the essay "Names nombres" written by J. Alvarez, we can learn how difficult it is for a family of Spanish origin to maintain their names and traditions within a totally different culture like that of the USA, especially when that family comes from a country considered to be "third world", seen as inferior and often shameful and devalued. This affected the way Alvarez saw her own identity, associated with her and her family names. These names were pronounced so differently by the Americans, it seemed that they were erasing the Latin origin of it and imposing an Americanized and more "normal" version.
In this essay, Alvarez approaches her youth as a Latin immigrant in the USA. It shows how difficult it is to live between two cultures and how it affects various elements in people's lives.

Information is good for the brain; it stimulates creativity and relieves bordem of many. So, read a really beneficial book so you can prevent wasting valuable time looking at a wall for hours, or going to the fridge randomly when you're not even hungry (we all do this anyway, but, oh well).
