Question

2. Infer In lines 126-136, Maya tells a story about a student who immigrates

to the United States from Cambodia. How does this story advance, or add

details to, the plot's rising action?

Answer 1

The text indicates that the immigrant may have experienced some inappropriate events. So she is used to feeling that way when she thinks she is in trouble. Although Maya has never undergone the same events as the other immigrant, Maya still feels uneasy and worried about getting in trouble. Maya thinks she has a connection with the immigrant that makes her more frightened that something scary and embarrassing will happen to her, as it did to the immigrant in the story.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

It adds details to the plot's rising action since Maya is painted as been more intimidated because of her view that she's about to face something scary and embarrassing just as it happened to the student who immigrated to the United States from Cambodia.

Remember, any descriptions of incidents that create suspense, interest, or tensions are referred to as the rising action.
