which detail shows that malú is
trying to hide how she feels?
malú rolls along next to her mother.
malú asks to bring her skateboard.
malú gives her mother a fake smile.
malú shares a dream with her mother.

Explanation:

In the text, Malú admits she is "super nervous" about being the new kid, but tells her mom "Nope" and gives a "big, fake smile" while making a sarcastic comment about it being her dream. A fake smile directly shows she is hiding her true anxious feelings from her mother. The other options do not relate to concealing her emotions: rolling next to her mom is just an action, asking for a skateboard is a request, and sharing the sarcastic "dream" is a joke, not a hidden feeling gesture.

Answer:

Malú gives her mother a fake smile.
