Question

review the twenty-second and twenty-third paragraphs.
marias plans

1. maria stared thoughtfully across the yard at the tree fort. it was the first thing her grandfather had built for her. she had been little—it was before her younger brothers had been born—but she could remember grandpa working on it, standing on a ladder, out in the sun alone.
2. of all her siblings, maria felt that she was most like her grandfather. grandpa had been a carpenter. maria had always loved visiting him in his barn. she would spend hours watching him saw, sand, and hammer. only she had been allowed because she was the oldest. he could do anything with his own two hands, she thought proudly.

what has changed about the way maria thinks of herself and her siblings?
she thinks of herself as the boss of the family, not the builder.
she realizes that she doesnt need to be the only builder in the family.
she realizes that she likes her little brothers.

Explanation:

The provided text shows Maria previously saw herself as the only one like her carpenter grandfather (the "builder" figure in her family, since she was the only sibling allowed to watch him work). The correct option reflects a shift where she no longer sees herself as the sole builder in the family, which aligns with the implied growth in her perspective about her siblings.

Answer:

She realizes that she doesn't need to be the only builder in the family.
