I could never ask any of my friends over to our apartment. They would have suffered culture shock. So I divided myself into two people—actually three, if you counted the after-school hippie version as a separate identity. It was not always easy to shuffle out of my visionary self and into the binding coat of propriety the Puerto Rican girl was supposed to wear, although my parents were more understanding than others in our barrio. Which of the main character's traits does this passage most clearly reveal?
A. Her acceptance of her Puerto Rican heritage
B. Her struggle with meeting others' expectations
C. Her sensitivity toward her friends' needs
D. Her ease with practicing her family's religion

Hey! ANSWER CHOICE (B) makes a lot of sense because this girl is trying to fit in and trying to meet everyone's expectaton about being a *type* of girl.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

p.s: please mark as brainliest!

This passage most clearly reveal her struggle with meeting others' expectations.

The correct answer is B.

In this excerpt, we can realize that she has difficulties to fit into her friends lives by living like a tradicional girl from Puerto Rico. She feels that kind of culture would shock her friends and so she tries to change in order to be accepted. In doing this, she also has to face people in her barrio and her family, although they seem to understand what she is going through.
