Question
read the excerpt from \daughter of invention\.
but laura had gotten used to the life here. she did not want to go back to the old country where, de la torre or not, she was only a wife and a mother (and a failed one at that, since she had never provided the required son). better an independent nobody than a high - class houseslave. she did not come straight out and disagree with her husbands plans. instead, she fussed with him about reading the papers in bed, soiling their sheets with those poorly printed, foreign tabloids. \the times is not that bad!\ shed claim if her husband tried to humor her by saying they shared the same dirty habit.
how do lauras interactions with her husband reveal the conflict she experiences?
○ she becomes an independent nobody and decides to reject her role as a high - class housewife and mother.
○ she reads the newspapers with her husband to keep up on dominican politics and plans a return to their homeland.
○ instead of getting used to her new life in america, she secretly hopes that her husband will return the family to the dominican republic.
○ instead of openly disagreeing with her husbands desire to return to the dominican republic, she criticizes the foreign papers he reads.
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- Option 1: The text says she "did not come straight out and disagree", so she doesn't reject her role openly. Eliminate.
- Option 2: She fusses about the papers, not plan to return. The excerpt says she "did not want to go back". Eliminate.
- Option 3: The excerpt states "Laura had gotten used to the life here" and didn't want to go back, so this is incorrect. Eliminate.
- Option 4: The excerpt says "She did not come straight out and disagree with her husband’s plans. Instead, she fussed with him about reading the papers in bed...", which matches this option.

D. Instead of openly disagreeing with her husband’s desire to return to the Dominican Republic, she criticizes the foreign papers he reads. (Note: Assuming the last option is D as per the context, since the options are listed and the correct one is the last described. If the option identifiers were different, adjust accordingly, but based on the content, the correct option is the one about criticizing the foreign papers instead of open disagreement.)
