Answer 1

Marin is the older Puerto Rican girl who is characterized as more mature and wearing stockings in Esperanza's neighborhood, from the novel 'The House on Mango Street'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The girl in Esperanza's neighborhood who is characterized as an older Puerto Rican girl who wears stockings and seems to be more mature than Esperanza is Marin. None of the passages provided seem to be directly related to the novel 'The House on Mango Street' by Sandra Cisneros, which features a character named Esperanza and her experiences, including those with other girls in her neighborhood. Among those characters, Marin stands out as the more mature, older, and wears stockings, indicating that the answer to the student's question is D. Marin.
