Answer:

Her response is an example of saving face.

Explanation:

Saving face refers to maintaining one's status after a failure, in order to avoid embarrassment which in turn would lead to that person <em>"losing face". </em>

The classmate viewed her no selection as a failure, since she has been practicing for weeks to make it on the team. As such, she is embarrassed by  the result and lies by mentioning the sickness in order to save face in front of you, the inquisitor.

How did Mexicans feel when our homes in Texas went from Mexican to American rule
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Mexicans felt happy when their homes in Texas went from Mexican to American rule.

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is that for a long time, Texas Mexican's looked for independence from Mexico because they didn't feel like they belonged to it, as well as because they were tired of the government and its failure. Therefore, they felt relieved when they changed from one country to the other. They had also fought several times against the Mexican Government for their freedom, but they never accomplished it.
