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."

Why does Esperanza decide to hold Silvia’s hand, no matter how she feels about it?

She thinks Marisol would be disappointed if she let go.
She knows she can wash her hand soon.
She does not want to disappoint her mother.
She wants Silvia to feel comfortable.
PLZ HELP i d k if anyone is even on here but if u r plz help i hope somone is on even tho it winter break PLZ HELP AND PLZ NO LINKS

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 her mother is already disappointed in her. (sorry if this is incorrect)

I NEED HELP PLEASEEEE!!!

New guidelines were recently published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to improve the way people eat. Recommendations include lowering salt intake, eating less sugar and saturated fats, and eating more fruits and vegetables. These guides have come out every 5 years, but though they are developed by reputable scientists, the public virtually ignores them. Countless studies have linked overeating and sedentary lives with multiple diseases and increased medical costs. Even with high-profile figures like Michelle Obama leading the fight for healthier lifestyles, the old habits die hard.
The need to shift to healthier eating is more urgent now than ever. Weight problems are epidemics in the United States, as is the equally pressing problem of undernourishment. For example, people today eat far too much salt. This salt addiction has been proven to increase the risk for heart disease and stroke, as well as other costly and life-threatening illnesses. The new guidelines give specific recommendations regarding how much daily salt is healthy. However, it's doubtful whether Americans will heed the advice. They'd rather watch cable TV and eat French fries than make changes that would likely prolong their lives.
Thankfully, the USDA has become proactive in changing the way we Americans eat. Most people are familiar with the famous food pyramid the agency developed years ago, showing the food groups and servings of each group. However, the agency's guidelines go far beyond the colorful posters hanging in schools across the nation. School meal programs are impacted by the document, as are decisions about the labeling of foods and how foods are marketed to young people. In particular, by using the guidelines to target school breakfast and lunch programs, the USDA hopes to make healthy foods an easy alternative for kids. Clearly, adults cannot be counted on to make healthy eating a priority. With the USDA's help, school kids will get started early on a lifetime of good diet habits.

What can readers tell about the author's attitude in this passage?
A.
The author thinks USDA guides should come out more often.
B.
The author believes that hospitals charge too much.
C.
The author values exercise more than a healthy diet.
D.
The author places a high value on scientific results.

What purpose is the author attempting to convey by including the following quotes?

I look at the world
From awakening eyes in a black face —
And this is what I see:
This fenced-off narrow space
Assigned to me.
I look then at the silly walls
Through dark eyes in a dark face —
And this is what I know:
That all these walls oppression builds
Will have to go!
I look at my own body
With eyes no longer blind —
And I see that my own hands can make
The world that's in my mind.
Then let us hurry, comrades,
The road to find.

JUST WRITE ME A BOOK REVIEW. THANK YOU IF YOU DO.

NO LINKS.

I have to tell you—I’ve never won anything in my life. I’ve lost every contest I’ve ever entered. I mean, there was the time I won the school raffle, but that doesn’t count because the prize was so small—only a new book bag. That book bag fell apart right after I used it, so it’s obviously not a good prize. And you can’t count the time I won that quiz on the radio because in that case, there wasn’t even a prize! Just bragging rights! I was the only person listening who knew that Carmelo Anthony owns a camel. And I am not counting the time I won the school spelling bee because I nearly lost it—it was so close, I was two points behind my competitor. So you should believe me when I say I’ve never won a contest, ever, and it’s about time I start.

Which detail from the passage provides the best evidence that the narrator is unreliable?

A
“You should believe me when I say...”

B
“That book bag fell apart right after I used it...”

C
“I was the only person listening who knew that Carmelo Anthony owns a camel.”

D
“I mean, there was the time I won the school raffle, but that doesn’t count.”
