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.

PLS MARK BRAINLIEST

Understanding that it was composed that long prior encourages me place it into point of view and perceive that ladies in those days had far less rights than current circumstances. It additionally causes me comprehend the opening location when she alludes to "mediocre ladies." Because she was a duchess and a portion of the others display were likewise of the gentry, she is basically tending to normal people, not attempting to affront them. Since this content came so ahead of schedule in the ladies' rights development, I can perceive how her message is to start making others mindful of the issue, as opposed to attempting to give an answer.
