<em>Short answer: B.</em>

<em />

<em>Here is why:</em>

<em>A might seem likely, but is actually incorrect because it does not show enough evidence to be anything more than a statement. It would more likely be a stereotype if the sentence was "All boys" or just "Boys" instead of "the boys", which refers to a specific group of boys.</em>

<em />

<em>B represents a family making boys do an activity. The answer as to why is not certain, but is likely because that is a "boys" thing to do.</em>

<em />

<em>C simply talks about a specific person, with no implication that their is stereotype involved.</em>

<em />

<em>D simply talks about the family success, with no stereotypical aspect involved.</em>

In Living to Tell the Tale, which sentence from paragraph 7 most strongly supports the narrator making the connection that he an
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

“Living to Tell the Tale” is the first volume of the autobiography of Gabriel García Márquez.

The book was published in Spanish in 2002, .Living to Tell the Tale tells the story of García Márquez' life from  the year he was born in Aracataca, and the mid-1950s, when he experimented in journalism to pay his bills and finish his first novel, “Leaf Storm”. The book ends with his proposal to his wife. It focuses heavily on García Márquez' family, schooling, and early career as a journalist and as short story writer, and includes references to numerous real-life events that ended up in his novels in one form or another, including the “Banana massacre” that appears prominently in “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and the friend of his whose life and his death were the model for “Chronicle of a Death Foretold.”

The citation from the book that most strongly supports the narrator making the connection that he and his mother are abandoned like the thief’s family is:

"Me siento como si yo fuera el ladrón" —( "I feel like I am the Thief")
