I believe that the question you should ask in order to understand an author's diction is What do these words have in common with each other?
Diction in literature is the choice of words, so I'm assuming this answer is correct.
I would say B. time period is a major impact on a story. hope this helps, have an amazing day :)
The narrator meant that they didn't get the right model that their mother wanted
Not so sure
Hope this helps :)
I would say Jose Because it's San Jose and it doesn't look right un-capitalized so I would go with B.
