Corrected Question

(A) It makes her less confused.

(B) It makes her less frightened.

(C) It makes her less confident.

(D) It makes her less angry.

Answer:

(C) It makes her less confident.

Explanation:

This question is based on the short story Sweet, Difficult Sounds by I. M. Desta.

The story details the struggle to fit in at school of a young woman, Nothukula who immigrates to the United States from Zimbabwe.

During the encounter with Ashley, Nothukula struggled to find the right thing to say.

In a later part, during the roll call, when she was asked her name by the teacher, the author states:

"Freshly intimidated by her silent exchange with Ashley, Nothukula froze again"

We can therefore see that the interaction with Ashley left Nothukula feeling less confident.

The correct option is C.
