Question

“youre lucky,” veena blurted out as rohan sat down and she picked up the trimmer, “because you get to have short hair and no one objects.”
rohan looked up at her, eyes wide. “you want short hair?”
“maybe. yes. i dont know.” veenas grip tightened around the trimmer. “i mean, if im going to be a real hairstylist, i cant be afraid to experiment on my own hair. i want to do something—dye it, chop it, or maybe even shave it off!” veenas head slumped forward.

what problem does veena face?

she is not sure that she has the skills needed to be a real hairstylist.

she cuts other people’s hair but does not feel free to change her own.

she does not enjoy cutting her brother’s hair in front of the tv.

she feels very worried about experimenting with other people’s hair.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: The text focuses on her uncertainty about changing her own hair, not her skills. Eliminate.
• Analyze Option 2: Veena notes Rohan can have short hair with no objection, and she is unsure about changing her own (wants to experiment but is hesitant, as seen in "Maybe. Yes. I don't know" and her grip tightening). This matches her conflict between cutting others' hair (implied by using a trimmer) and feeling restricted about her own.
• Analyze Option 3: The text has no mention of cutting her brother's hair or TV - related feelings. Eliminate.
• Analyze Option 4: She is worried about experimenting on her own hair, not others'. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. She cuts other people’s hair but does not feel free to change her own.
