C.) “My secret love sat across the room from me looking supremely bored.”

D.) “I believed myself still invisible to him in ‘nothing’ status as I looked upon my beloved.”

Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

In "First Love" by Judith Ortiz Cofer, the quote that best refines the theme that love does not come easily to everyone is, "...I had, of course, in the great tradition of tragic romance, chosen to love a boy who was totally out my reach." Even though the girl was in love, she knew that she could not be with the boy, therefore it didn't come easily.
