(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.
