This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

The main "collision" in this story is driven by racial discrimination, portrayed by the unexpected bigotry that slowly surfaces in Delaney´s actions. He who has begun denouncing his neighbors' racist ideas ends up revealing his perception of Mexican immigrants as disruptive to his way of life.

There are also several examples of figurative collisions that represent gender biases and violence against women, such as America being assaulted by José Navidad, which is not only a perceived fear but an acute possibility for women regardless of their social status. At the same time, America suffers abuse from Cándido, because all his frustration and anger can not be thrown back at those who do him wrong, so violence against his wife is an easy way to release that anger.

Explanation:

The question refers to "The Tortilla Curtain," by T. Coraghessan Boyle which begins with Delaney and Kyra, a white man from a wealthy neighborhood, hitting Cándido, an undocumented Mexican immigrant, with his car.

Answer:

Lily said that she has been allowing her children to be out with their friends as long as they keep her updated about their whereabouts.

Explanation:

Permissive parenting is characterized by low demands with high responsiveness. Permissive parents tend to be very loving, yet provide few guidelines and rules. These parents do not expect mature behavior from their children and often seem more like a friend than a parental figure.

Read the excerpt from My Story.
lord [1]

Answer:

Assuming this is a multiple choice question, the answer would be the first listed: <em>"By describing in detail the order of what happened to her."</em>

Explanation:

Through deductive reasoning, we can recognize that this is the only applicable option.

Let's look at the options we did not choose:

  1. By comparing her feelings to those of other prisoners she met. <em>This does not apply because, in the excerpt given, the narrator never discusses any encounter with other prisoners. </em>
  2. By sharing the exact dimensions of the prison cell she was put in. <em>At no point does this happen.</em>
  3. By explaining how her feelings were expressed as pain in her body.  <em>The narrator never describes pain in the excerpt provided.</em>
