Question

Read the excerpt from "Broken Chain." Alfonso studied the magazine pictures of rock stars for a hairstyle. He liked the way Prince looked—and the bass player from Los Lobos. Alfonso thought he would look cool with his hair razored into a V in the back and streaked purple. But he knew his mother wouldn’t go for it. And his father, who was puro Mexicano, would sit in his chair after work, sullen as a toad, and call him "sissy.” What details from the passage would best support a paragraph about conflict between characters?

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Alfonso thinking his father would likely call him a sissy

"And his father, who was puro Mexicano, would sit in his chair after work, sullen as a toad, and call him "sissy.”

Alfonso had a conflict between him and this father, even though Alfonso seemed confident about the idea of having a new haircut, internally he knew neither his mother nor his father would accept it. Especially his father which in the text they make reference of his father's origin, was predisposed because of what he recalled about him.
