This question refers to "Drum Dream Girl" by Margarita Engle.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C. They highlight the powerful dreams the girl has about playing the drums.
Explanation:
The girl loved to play the piano no matter what others said.
It had always been her dream and the fact that their parents told her that only boys should play the piano did not prevent her from doing what she liked best.
The words the author uses prove it. Let's look at the following quotes:
<em>"At home, her fingertips rolled out their own dreamy drum rhythm on tables and chairs ..."
</em>
<em>"Her hands seemed to fly as they rippled rapped and pounded all the rhythms of her drum dreams."</em>

I encountered this question before. The underlined idiom was "SHE PUT HER NOSE TO THE FIRE". This question also had choices. These were:
<span>She was cold as she wrote her speech, so she sat by the fire.
She worked hard to finish her speech for the assembly.
She was proud of the speech once she finished it.
She finished the speech in a very short amount of time.
The underlined idiom tells the reader that SHE FINISHED THE SPEECH IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
When you put your nose to the fire, you don't last long because of the heat. Thus, you only spend a short amount of time putting your nose to the fire.</span>
