The answer would have to be option B "Elenita struggles to keep her identities separate." This option seems to be the best fit. It's not option A because she said she DOESN'T want to invite any of her friends over. It's not option C because I dont see anything in this excerpt that has to deal with her father not wanting to return to Puerto Rico.

Good luck.
