Question

Read this excerpt from "Gravity" by Judith Ortiz Cofer:

I knew that my rebel disguise worried my parents, but we had an unspoken agreement we all understood would be revoked if they objected too much to my hippie clothes and loud music. By day I looked and acted like a good Catholic girl, wearing my Queen of Heaven High School uniform of gray plaid wool, penny-loafers with socks, hair in a braid, the whole bit. After school I became whoever and whatever I wanted.
What is the best example of cultural conflict in the excerpt?

Answer 1

Answer: The Answer is A) Elenita versus her parent's traditional values

Explanation: It just is

Answer 2

The best example of cultural conflict in the excerpt is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elenita's hippie clothes versus her school uniform. This is because the conflict is between Elenita's desire to express herself through her fashion choices as a "rebel" and her Catholic school's requirement for her to wear a uniform. This conflict highlights the tension between individual expression and conformity to cultural norms. The other options are not as directly related to cultural conflict in this specific passage.
