Question 1 • CMS 2025-2026 English I CREDIT RECOVERY

Which excerpt from "Daughter of Invention" contains language that best reveals that Carlos is still tied to his Dominican origin?

Answer

He sat bolt upright, reaching for his glasses which in his haste, he knocked across the room. " iQue pasa? iQue pasa? "

“...It is boastful. I celebrate myself? The best student learns to destroy the teacher? " He mocked Yoyo's plagiarized words.

"Have you gone mad?" He shook her away. "You were going to let her read that . . . that insult to her teachers?"

He called down curses on her head, ordered her on his authority as her father to open that door!

Explanation

Choice A includes “¡Qué pasa? ¡Qué pasa?”—Spanish words meaning “What’s happening?” Carlos’s use of Spanish most directly shows his continuing connection to his Dominican origin. The other excerpts show his reactions or authority but do not reveal that connection as clearly.
