Answer 1

Answer:

Their different views on Babette's readiness to grow up.

Explanation:

This question refers to the text "Ripe Figs" by Kate Chopin.

In this story, Maman-Nainaine tells Babette that she will be able to go visit her cousins when the figs are ripe. Babette is extremely excited and cannot wait to go. Therefore, the ripening appears slow to her. However, Maman-Nainaine believes that the ripening was actually very fast.

This is a consequence of the different opinions that the women have on growing up, Babette, who is very young, is desperate to grow up, and thinks herself to be ready. On the other hand, Maman-Nainaine is more experienced, and less sure about Babette's readiness to grow up.
