In looking at the answer choices, a few can be dismissed immediately. From the passage it doesn't seem that the dismissal of the narrator's questions affects her too much. Therefore we can eliminate answers that show a drastic change in the narrator's emotions (the narrator feeling inadequate, lacking control, and fearing she may be doomed). The only answer left is that the narrator is dismissed. In gothic literature women are often seen as helpless, innocent victims.
The sentence "I tent camped when I was younger but switched to an RV when I got older," is the one that best presents an evaluative thesis for the prompt.
<h3>What is an evaluative thesis?</h3>
- It is the author's position.
- It is an opinion that shows two aspects.
- It is a statement, which presents a contrary idea shortly after.
The sentence "I tent camped when I was younger but switched to an RV when I got older" shows an evaluative thesis, as it shows an idea contrary to the statement that was initially presented. In other words, we can see that the narrator claims that he was camping in a tent when he was younger. Soon after, he makes a contrary statement, showing that he currently prefers camping in a trailer.
This shows that he has evaluated both accommodations and is now able to present a thesis on them.

Hema’s mother has a powerful connection to her Bengali culture, and she also has the culture of being a mother. She talks to Kaushik in Bengali language, yet also she also has the sympathy and care of a mother for her child, which is common in all cultures. Kaushik has a mix of American and Bengali culture, that’s why she understands Hema’s mother when she talks to him in Bengali, even though he replies in English. As Kaushik went to the market, he brought back broth and magazines which is quite popular in American culture. The passage shows how Jhumpa’s life is a mix of cultures that integrates with one another. She has Indian culture but was raised in American culture, and that entwines with the culture of her ancestors.
