Answer:

B. begins to understand Mr. Pirzada’s pain.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the story, we follow Lilia's change throughout the narrative. The key point is when she understands the pain and suffering of Mr. Pirazada for the first time.

She notices his worry about the home, how he misses his daughters, how he is hurt and afraid to be away from them, unsure if they are okay.

With this, Lilia begins to grow emotionally and read other's emotions better than before. She is changing from a child to an understanding, emphatic person.

She also starts to get interested in the story about India and Pakistan, about her own root culture and the war. Although she is also American, she starts to read books in school about Pakistan, imagine it on the map and take interest in the story, exploring her heritage and origins through the process. All of this comes first as a wish to emotionally support Mr. Pirzada and learn more about the story, family, and life of a generous person who affected her so much.
