Which excerpt from "Daughter of Invention" reveals Laura’s Dominican origin through unique pronunciation?

A) "You girls are going to drive me crazy!" she threatened, if they kept nagging. "When I end up in Bellevue, you'll be safely sorry!"

B) "Remember that time we took the car to Bear Mountain, and we re-ah-lized that we had forgotten to pack an opener with our pick-a-nick?"

C) "Maybe not. Maybe, just maybe, there's something they've missed that's important. With patience and calm, even a burro can climb a palm."

D) "Ay, Cuco. Remember how I showed you that suitcase with little wheels so we should not have to carry those heavy bags when we traveled? Someone stole my idea and made a million!"

The excerpt from "Daughter of Invention" which reveals Laura’s Dominican origin through unique pronunciation is definitely B) "Remember that time we took the car to Bear Mountain, and we re-ah-lized that we had forgotten to pack an opener with our pick-a-nick?"
You can even see in the excerpt itself that one word is graphically written differently than the rest of the text. Laura pronounces the word realized as re-ah-lized, which is apparently not the usual pronunciation of the word, but something native to the Dominican Republic.
