Which trait of Miss Hopley and Ms. Ryan at first intimidates Galarza but later inspires him? A. Both look at him over the tops of their glasses. B. Both speak Spanish and English with him. C. Both carry themselves with regal pride. D. Both teach him to read only in English.
I think the best choice is C for the story, Barrio Boy. Galarza was first uncomfortable as an immigrant from Mexico, but after seeing that both Miss Hopley and Ms. Ryan was on his side, he was inspired to not be afraid.
