Answer and Explanation:

1. Nea is the younger sister and lives in the shadow of her older sister's growth. While the older sister progresses socially, Nea remains childish and naive, but she also exhibits aggressive, anxious, uncontrolled and often overly emotional behaviors. This affects Nea strongly, causing many things in her life to be harmed. However, Nea is a character full of layers, extremely complex which makes her a dynamic character.

2. Nea has a strong mental imbalance, but positions herself as a very protective person of her sister Sourdi, who is a beautiful and delicate person, making Nea see her as a treasure that must be protected. However, even though sourdi is portrayed as very delicate, she is a much stronger and more balanced character than her sister.

3. Duke is a flat character. Although he is very important to the story, we don't see many nuances in him, other than that he loves Sourdi and that he helps her.

4. If the mother told the story, the view we have of the characters, America and what it is like to be an immigrant would be greatly modified. The hand does not have the same vision of each daughter that Nea has. In addition, the mother has memories of her homeland, being able to create a more nostalgic narrative. Nea however, presents a view of current events within a country that is not hers, but where it was created and culturalized, which makes the story richer and more identifiable.

5. Mr. Chhay seems to be a good husband in general, although he and Sordi have some arguments, sometimes they manage to get along and live the best way possible.

6. The information about the trip in the minefield stimulates the understanding of the affection and care among the sisters, who, even in a difficult situation, do not abandon themselves, even if one does not know the other so deeply.

7. Because the title "Nea, the troublemaker" represents a prejudice against Nea, since she is a person who is much more than that and who seeks to do good, even if it seems that she is not.

Which sentence has a pronoun with an unclear, missing, or confusing antecedent?
Ghella [55]
I believe it would be B, because there are two subjects that the speaker is referring to at the beginning of the sentence; the caterpillar and the leaf. When they use the word "it" in the second half of the sentence it is unclear whether they mean to say if "it" is the leaf or the caterpillar which they are carrying to their brother.
