Answer:

B. She pretends not to speak English.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jean Craighead George's children novel "Julie of the Wolves," tells the story of a young Eskimo girl caught in between her native Inuit tradition and the modernity of her Alaskan home’s influence. Julie, also called Miyax, the protagonist of the story is caught between the two sides of the world and had to fluctuate between them as she continues to move ahead in her life.

When she first met Atik and Uma, she conversed in Upik, their dialog, thus keeping to their traditional ways of life. She knows English and can well converse in it but she also wants to keep her Inuit tradition alive. And in deciding to converse in Upik with Atik and Uma, she follows the novels' themes of keeping to the traditional ways of life.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
