Answer 2

B. She refers to the people who have helped her to get what she is today.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chief justice Sotomayor's speech titled "NYU Commencement Address" consists of the plentiful intimidating elements of her experiences and journey to success. She calls the opportunity to speak in New York as "momentous" which reflects her excitement. However, she remembers watching baseball games sitting next to her father yet this doesn't help to illustrate the significance of gratitude. So, the element that justifies gratitude in her speech is that she reminisces the people who helped her reach this honorary position, beginning with John Saxton an old friend. Then, she presents her acknowledgment and gratitude to each and everyone(family, friends, professors, co-workers) who shaped her future and recognizes their contribution in her transition as according to her it is crucial to cultivate relationships along with the crafting of career.
