Answer: C. The green taffeta dress and tie-dyed T-shirts and bell-bottoms.

The green taffeta dress and the tie-dye T-shirts and bell bottoms are used in the story "Gravity" by Judith Ortiz Cofer as symbols of the tension between her Puerto Rican and American culture. As a Latin woman growing up in the US, the author often writes about what this clash of cultures represented in her life. The green taffeta dress stands here as a symbol of her Puerto Rican heritage and the role she feels is traditionally assigned to her. The t-shirts and bell bottoms are a symbol of the modern, American culture she also wants to be a part of.

chubhunter [2.5K]

"The domesticated generations fell from him" means that Buck is losing his civilized characteristics (B).

In this passage, Buck is feeling more and more estranged from where he and his ancestors ("generations") originally come from: as he gets a taste of wild life, he feels less and less like a pet ("domesticated") and more like a feral dog or a wolf. He is forgetting his stay-at-home ways ("fell from him") and sees new instincts grow in him, such as the drive to fight and hunt in a pack.
