mom walked over and hooked her arm through mine. i
had no choice but to let her pull me back down the
unfamiliar hallway....

Explanation:

• The pale green color of the room is linked to a hospital room, which is a common association with anxious/uncomfortable feelings matching Malú's "bowling ball in stomach" (nervousness) state.
• Mom explicitly suggests "walk it off" as a way to help Malú feel better, which aligns with the partial text "eling and ke a walk to" (likely "feeling and take a walk to").

Answer:

1. Malú chooses the smaller room because it has painted walls, even though its pale green color reminds her of when she was in a hospital room.
2. Malú's mom suggests walking and taking a walk to help her feel better.
