Question

Read the excerpt "Primary Lessons" from Silent Dancing: A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood.

But, of course, what I feared was not language, but loss of freedom. At school there would be no playing, no stories, only lessons. It would not matter if I did not understand a word, and I would not be allowed to make up my own definitions. I would have to learn silence. I would have to keep my wild imagination in check. Feeling locked into my stiffly starched uniform, I only sensed all this. I guess most children can intuit their loss of childhood’s freedom on that first day of school. It is separation anxiety too, but mother is just the guardian of the “playground” of our early childhood.
What does the excerpt illustrate about the narrator's perception of education?

She feels resolute in her choice to learn.
She is determined to learn at school.
She has a dubious attitude toward school.
She feels energized by the notion of learning.

Answer 1

What are the things you can answer with

Answer 2

The answer would be "She has a dubious attitude toward school."

Step-by-step explanation:

Took the test and here is a screenshot of the answer:

For the real explanation: Dubious means to doubt or hesitate, which in this case sort of describes what the girl was feeling, so I chose that seeing as it was the best answer I could do. Besides, the other answers are about "hardworking and determination." I saw no determination being described, she feels singled out by school and I don't think THAT'S determination, but that's just me. Anyways, hoping this helps you. <3
