Esperanza looked down at Silvia's dirty hands. Silvia grinned up at her and Esperanza's first thought was to pull her hand away

and wash it as soon as possible. Then she remembered Mama's kindness to the peasant girl on the train - and her disappointment in Esperanza. She didn't want Silvia to start crying if she were to pull away. She looked around at the dusty camp and thought that it must be hard to stay clean in such a place. She squeezed Silvia's hand and said, "I have a best friend, too. Her name is Marisol and she lives in Aguascalientes."

She thinks Marisol would be disappointed if she let go.

Answer:

I believe the answer is C, she doesn't want to disappoint her mother.

Explanation:

The narrator makes it clear that Esperanza thinks Silvia is disgusting, but when Esperanza thinks back to the conversation she had with her mother and decides against pulling away, it's directly stated in the text that she chooses to hold on instead because<em> </em>her mother is already disappointed in her. (sorry if this is incorrect)

Inessa [10]
I have the same prompt. Are you in the k12 system? Well here it is:
William Blake uses literary techniques and structure to develop meaning to the poem, mood as well as tone. Blake uses phrases like "<span>The sun does arise, 
And make happy the skies" To make the reader feel happy and light. It also conveys the idea that spring is a good thing and that the skies become happy when spring is coming. Blake also uses rhyme to make the poem light and bouncy. He uses phrases like </span><span>The merry bells ring - B
To welcome the Spring; The skylark and thrush, The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around To the bells’ cheerful sound;  While our sports shall be seen On the echoing green" This little stanza here give the poem a light and happy feeling. This is as far as I got I'll update this later when I am done. I hoped this somewhat helped.</span>
