Answer:

A. The girls are dressed in their “best party dresses” to go to the beach.

Explanation:

Ju lia Alvarez's poem <em>Exile</em><em> </em>recounts the time her parents had got them ready to leave the Dominican Republic and move to America. The secret journey, the truth behind the lie, and the realization that she will no longer see her home for another decade are all revealed in the poem which reveals the poet's real thoughts about their move.

Starting the first line with <em>"The night we fled the country, Papi"</em>, Alvarez comes directly to the issue. His parents had planned on moving secretly, talking in hushed voices, and telling the children that they are going to the beach. Their flight away from the country is foreshadowed in the way the girls were told to wear their <em>"best party dresses"</em> to go to the beach.  

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

In chapter 2 of Don Quixote, what stopped the women from laughing at Quixote in front of the Inn.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

These preliminaries settled, he did not care to put off any longer the execution of his design, urged on to it by the thought of all the world was losing by his delay, seeing what wrongs he intended to right, grievances to redress, injustices to repair, abuses to remove, and duties to discharge. So, without giving notice of his intention to anyone, and without anybody seeing him, one morning before the dawning of the day (which was one of the hottest of the month of July) he donned his suit of armour, mounted Rocinante with his patched-up helmet on, braced his buckler, took his lance, and by the back door of the yard sallied forth upon the plain in the highest contentment and satisfaction at seeing with what ease he had made a beginning with his grand purpose. But scarcely did he find himself upon the open plain, when a terrible thought struck him, one all but enough to make him abandon the enterprise at the very outset. It occurred to him that he had not been dubbed a knight, and that according to the law of chivalry he neither could nor ought to bear arms against any knight; and that even if he had been, still he ought, as a novice knight, to wear white armour, without a device upon the shield until by his prowess he had earned one. These reflections made him waver in his purpose, but his craze being stronger than any reasoning, he made up his mind to have himself dubbed a knight by the first one he came across, following the example of others in the same case, as he had read in the books that brought him to this pass. As for white armour, he resolved, on the first opportunity, to scour his until it was whiter than an ermine; and so comforting himself he pursued his way, taking that which his horse chose, for in this he believed lay the essence of adventures.
