The story “<em><u>Broken Chain</u></em>” is written by <u>Gary Soto </u>and it deals with the teenager struggles that arise in Alfonso’s life. He doesn’t like the way he looks but he wants so badly to impress a girl named Sandra.
Question: A student is writing a paragraph about "Broken Chain" that makes the point that Alfonso’s conflict in the story is mainly an internal one. What would be the best illustration of this point?
Answer: A. He hates the way he looks and spends hours “trying to herd his teeth into place with his thumb.”
The editorial to which this question refers is "Yes, Virginia! There is a Santa Claus; timeless message"
Answer:
The central idea of the text is the ability to elaborate an answer to a child's question that is true, but does not compromise the child's innocence.
Explanation:
The editorial shows how a man was able to associate the existence of the Santa Claus, with the existence of feelings and inanimate things that exist in a subjective way in our life, but not in a concrete way. This answer was given to a child who wanted to know if Santa was real.
In this way they can confirm that the central idea of the text is the ability to answer children's questions in an appropriate way, without lies, but with delicacy.

Answer:
the second option is the most beneficial answer as I see it.
