Question

1. why hasnt papa contacted his family in japan? they are all dead they disowned him he is the black sheep of the family

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze the options. If the family disowned him (option B) or he is the black sheep (option C), it's more about family relationships, but the question is about why he hasn't contacted. However, if "they are all dead" (option A) is true, there's no one to contact. But wait, maybe from the context (like a literary work, e.g., "Farewell to Manzanar" - in that context, Papa's family in Japan disowned him? Wait no, correction: In the context of the story (if this is from "Farewell to Manzanar"), the correct reason is that they disowned him? Wait no, let's re - check. Wait, the options: "They disowned him" (B) - if the family disowned him, that's a reason he doesn't contact. But maybe I got the context wrong. Wait, actually, in some narratives, if a person is disowned, the family cuts ties. But let's think again. Wait, the question is why Papa hasn't contacted his family in Japan. If "They disowned him" (option B), that means the family rejected him, so he might not contact. But another angle: if "He is the black sheep" (C), it's similar but less direct. Wait, maybe the correct answer is B. Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's assume the context is a story where the family disowned him, so he doesn't contact. So the correct option is B. They disowned him.

Answer:

B. They disowned him
