Read the selection from the section "Paying Homage To One's Culture." "In Latin American cultures, the quinceañera celebrates a girl's fifteenth birthday. The celebration marks a girl's passage from girlhood to womanhood. In Jewish cultures, the bar mitzvah celebrated at the age of thirteen similarly marks a boy's transition to adulthood." Why did the author include this idea?

A. to describe differences between ceremonies for young boys and girls


B. to provide examples of practices that are unique to different cultures


C. to show how every culture has rite of passage ceremonies for children


D. to explain how some traditions change when people adopt new cultures
