Answer: A. the mother wants to return to Puerto Rico, but the father is committed to staying in the United States.
Step-by-step explanation:
Judith Ortiz Cofer's Gravity tells the story about Elenita, a girl from Puerto Rico that ends up living in an apartment in New Jersey.
Elenita's mother grew up in Puerto Rico, and misses her country. She is constantly talking about her family on the island and dreaming about reuniting with them. Her father, on the other hand, always has an excuse not to go to Puerto Rico. His favorite topic is the restaurant owned by Reyes. These different preferences of Elenita's parents lead to the conflict between them. Elenita will eventually learn that her father avoided seeing his wife's family, as he was not able to offer her middle-class life she was used to.
