Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez. She was plain Anne – that is, only her name was plain, for she turned ou

t to be the pale, blond “American beauty” in the family. The only Hispanic thing about her was the affectionate nicknames her boyfriends sometimes gave her. Anita, or as one goofy guy used to sing to her to the tune of the banana advertisement, Anita Banana. Later, during her college years in the late sixties, there was a push to pronounce Third World names correctly. I remember calling her long distance at her group house and a roommate answering. “Can I speak to Ana?” I asked, pronouncing her name the American way. “Ana?” The man’s voice hesitated. “Oh! You must mean Ah-nah!” What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that Alvarez’s little sister Ana may have found it less difficult to integrate her Dominican and American identities during her college years?

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Later, during her college years in the late sixties, there was a push to pronounce Third World names correctly. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the narrative, Julia moved from Dominican to NY, together with her family. It was amazing that most people used to mispronounce the name of the family. For instance, when her family arrived in the immigration office, the officer would be able to mispronounce it. Julia is so eager to correct the officer from uttering the words wrongly, and she instead repeats it herself so that the officer gets the correct pronunciation.

The gym is closed on Sundays, it opens on Monday morning.
