The correct answer to which statement correctly analyzes how passages A and B work together to create a central idea is B. Alvarez contrasts her mother's insistence on silence with her own desire to tell stories.
When the author says that <em>the moment she learned how to talk caused a rupture in a silence established by her mother, and also a downturn in what her mother would consider good behavior,</em> she conveys that <em>they were opposites in that aspect.</em> Although she carried her mother's name, the moment she learned how to talk <em>she became her mother's contrast - someone who wanted to talk and express her ideas and opinions.</em> This contrast reflected in arguments and discussions she tells the reader about. Then, in passage B, <em>Alvarez tells the reader that when she became a writer she kept on using her mother's name, therefore emphasizing their differences.</em> So, the correct answer to which sentence would best explain how passages A and B work together to create a central idea is B. Alvarez contrasts her mother's insistence on silence with her own desire to tell stories.
The correct option couldn't be <em>A. Alvarez describes how her good behavior was an issue, or a thorn, for her mother</em> because <em>what was considered good behavior by her mother</em>, according to her, <em>wasn't the issue or the thorn mentioned.</em> On the contrary,<em> Alvarez would have stopped behaving well the moment where she began talking,</em> and that was an issue or thorn in her relationship with her mother. So, the correct answer couldn't be A. Alvarez describes how her good behavior was an issue or a thorn.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>C. Alvarez explains how her mother’s desires and temperament were similar to her own</em> because, on the contrary, <em>her desires were opposite to her mother's</em>, according to what she tells the reader. <em>She had the will to speak and pronounce</em> herself, while <em>her mother appreciated silence</em> as good behavior. Moreover, they fought a lot for that same reason. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be C. Alvarez explains how her mother’s desires and temperament were similar to her own.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>D. Alvarez traces how her childhood behavior led her to become a successful writer</em> because <em>there is no mention</em> in any of the passages about <em>how her behavior would have directly led her to become a successful writer</em>, although it is clear that her wish of sharing and telling stories starts in her childhood. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. Alvarez traces how her childhood behavior led her to become a successful writer.
Answer:
1976. Chris Cahill and Torry Skinner are US national caliber track and field athletes, Chris in the 100 meter hurdles, and Torry in the pentathlon. Chris has the natural ability to be great but she doesn't possess the confidence or drive, while Torry, who has less natural ability, psychologically knows what it takes to be great, leading to Torry making the Olympic team finishing second in her event, while Chris has a disastrous Olympic trial. Torry can see the potential in Chris, and tries to convince her coach at Cal Poly, Terry Tingloff, to coach Chris, Terry who will only allow Chris to train with the team without his guidance in he only having seen her disastrous performance at the trials. Although not ideal in that no scholarship money is involved, Chris accepts the offer against the wishes of her father, who currently coaches her. In their time together, Chris and Torry embark on a relationship, each seeing in the other what each doesn't possess, their attraction thus sexual as well as emotional. Eventually, Terry does see in Chris what Torry saw from the start, he who not only decides to train her, but convinces her that the event in which she should compete is the pentathlon in possessing the strength, speed and flexibility to be that all around athlete. Terry in particular cannot see a friendship let alone a sexual relationship exist between the two women who are now in competition, especially in the lead up to the 1980 Olympic trials. Through the ups and downs of both their friendship and sexual relationship, Chris and Torry may demonstrate what it means to be one's own personal best, especially in an environment where winning seems to be the goal at all cost.
Explanation:
It was either the third statement or the last one that I would have chosen. I believe "we laughed at the dog with the shaggy fur who was catching the ball" would be the best, however.
