Answer:

C) The ways in which characters from different social classes perceive and treat each other are addressed.

Explanation:

Realism addresses real-life situations without over dramatizing the plot and scenes. A realist approach in writing will address topics without depicting happy or unrealistic outlooks. In this excerpt, the readers notice how the writer gives details about the poor girl and how Edna observes the differences between them as she looks at her feet and "notices the sand and slime between her brown toes."

3. This reinforces the idea that the political situation in Argentina was very oppressive and authoritarian, going so far as to change the thinking of citizens who, instead of fighting it, were completely manipulated, to the point of helping.
