Read the following excerpt from "Homecoming."Atsidi lifted his eyes to Nantai’s face. The long, black braid was gone, and Nantai wore the White man’s pants and shirt, but everything else was the same. His eyes shone bright and clear, and his smile was as wide as the sky. Atsidi recognized him as if he’d seen him only yesterday. And Nantai’s eyes told Atsidi that he was recognized too.
Answer
A
He has completely assimilated to the White man’s ways.
B
He is angry about having been taken away from his family.
C
He has not forgotten or rejected his family or his Navajo culture.
D
He no longer wants to live with his Navajo family.
Explanation
Although Nantai now wears the White man’s clothes and has cut off his braid, Atsidi still recognizes him by his familiar eyes and smile. The passage also says Nantai’s eyes show that he recognizes Atsidi. This suggests that Nantai has not forgotten or rejected his family or Navajo culture, rather than having completely assimilated.
