B: the desire to prove to others that you’re right can lead to extreme actions.

In the story, the lawyer and the banker get into an argument about whether or not life imprisonment would be more humane than capital punishment. The banker challenges the lawyer to a bet stating that the lawyer must remain in isolation for 15 years. To prove that he is right, the lawyer takes the bet. The desire to prove himself correct leads the lawyer to take the extreme action of giving up everything and living a life locked up in solitude.

Which idea in true of the speakers in both excepts
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

They feel more connected to American culture than their ancestors’ culture.

Explanation:

The first paragraph refers to an American girl of Asian descent. Reading the paragraph, we can see that the girl is not comfortable with her Asian ancestry and is more integrated into American culture. This can be seen from the lines "I have always felt funny using chopsticks and my favorite food is hot dogs."

On the other hand, in the second paragraph, we realize that the girl has Mexican descent, since her grandmother speaks Spanish and the title of the text "Mericanos". The girl feels good about American culture, but is a little uncomfortable with Mexican culture as she responds to her grandmother rudely when speaking in Spanish.

In both paragraphs we can conclude that girls feel more connected to American culture than their ancestors' culture.
