Question

if margaritas mother had not gone to the united states, which of the following most likely would have happened?
a margarita would not need a costume for the festival.
b margaritas grandfather would still be sick because he would not have medicine.
c the president of the united states would have cancelled his trip to el salvador.
d margaritas aunt would not longer work in the fields.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A festival costume is unrelated to the mother's US trip, so this is unlikely.
• Option B: If the mother didn't go to the US, she might not have brought back medicine for the grandfather, so he could still be sick. This is a plausible causal link.
• Option C: The US president's trip to El Salvador is not related to Margarita's mother's travel, so this is illogical.
• Option D: The aunt's field work isn't connected to the mother's US trip, so this doesn't follow.

Answer:

B. Margarita's grandfather would still be sick because he would not have medicine.
