d. they are very beautiful

Answer 1

Esperanza loves trees because they are similar to her, as shown in option b.

How can we realize this?

• Esperanza notices that the appearance of the trees is the same as the deal.
• Esperanza realizes that just like her, the trees don't belong where they are.

Esperanza creates a strong connection with trees. This connection is both physical and mental, as it is an escape for Esperanza's thoughts about her reality and the place where she is living and how it affects and influences her.
