"So what," said Rosaura. "I come here every afternoon with my mother and we do our homework together."
Correct Answer
D. "So what," said Rosaura. "I come here every afternoon with my mother and we do our homework together."Explanation
The given answer, "So what," said Rosaura. "I come here every afternoon with my mother and we do our homework together," does not support the irony in the text. The irony in the text is that despite Rosaura being treated as a special guest and being given tasks to do, she is still seen as inferior and not truly part of the upper-class party. This statement by Rosaura shows her unawareness of the class divide and reinforces the idea that she believes she is equal to the other children, which contrasts with how she is actually perceived by the others.Rate this question:

Based on the story's resolution, is the following statement made by Rosaura's mother true or false?"Ah yes, your friend," her mother grumbled. She paused. "Listen, Rosaura," she said at last. "That one’s not your friend. You know what you are to them? The maid’s daughter, that’s what."
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In the story, Rosaura's mother expresses her dissatisfaction with Rosaura's friend by calling her "the maid's daughter." This implies that Rosaura's mother believes that her daughter is not truly seen as a friend by the other girl and instead is only valued for her association with the maid. Therefore, the statement made by Rosaura's mother, that the other girl is not Rosaura's friend but rather sees her as the maid's daughter, is true.Rate this question:

C. "There will be a magician, and he will bring a monkey and everything."Explanation
The statement "There will be a magician, and he will bring a monkey and everything" does not support the development of social influence on Rosaura because it does not involve any social interactions or relationships. The other statements in the exposition, such as the girl disapproving of her mother's speech and mentioning her friend Luciana, suggest that Rosaura is influenced by social dynamics and relationships. However, the mention of a magician and a monkey does not contribute to this theme of social influence.Rate this question:
