Which of these excerpts from “Once in a Lifetime” by Jhumpa Lahiri best exemplifies an exploration of diversity within socioecon

omic status?
In my quiet, complicated way I continued to like you, was happy simply to observe you day after day.

On one side was the life we'd always led, my parents taking me to Star Market every Thursday night, treating me to McDonalds afterward.

My parents felt slighted by your parents' extravagant visions, ashamed of the modest home we owned.

The brief application of lipstick seemed to restore the composure that my sudden appearance had caused her to lose.

The first choice has nothing to do with socioeconomic status and is therefore incorrect.

While choice two does possibly give an insight into the socioeconomic status of the family there is no sort of diversity mentioned at all.

The third choice is correct, it contrasts the author and love interest/friend's parents different socioeconomic status by saying that the author's parent felt hurt by the other parents shame of their less expensive home.

Choice four has nothing to do with socioeconomic status or diversity.

Answer:

Tone: Sorrow and Regret

Explanation:

I would say sorrow and mourning for the first half of it due to the nature of the way there talking makes it seem as if they have lost something they never had. This could also be described as mourning for the loved ones you never new of and make our character mourn over the death of here never before seen mother. Another tone I see near the end hint in is regret using descriptive language to describe how our character could hold our mother, and spend time with her before she died. As well as the regret of not being able to see her in sickness, or at her burial site. This may be the description of a older person describing the time when there mother died that they never knew when they were younger.
