Answer 2

Answer:

D. identifies with her Mexican heritage in a different way than her grandmother.

Explanation:

In this paragraph, the student describes how Micaela feels about her Mexican heritage. We know that the girl struggles with her heritage, and that she identifies strongly with the American part of herself. However, we also know that she does consider herself Mexican, and is simply unsure of what this means. We also know that she feels distant from her grandmother, who she labels as "awful" and who has an understanding of heritage that is too strict and religious for Micaela. All of this supports the idea that Micaela identifies with her heritage in a different way than her grandmother.
