Introducing them to my friends was a further trial to me. These relatives had

such complicated names and there were so many of them, and their relationships to myself were so convoluted. There was my Tía Josefina, who was not really an aunt but a much older cousin. And her daughter, Aida Margarita, who was adopted, una hija de crianza. My uncle of affection, Tío José, brought my madrina Tía Amelia and her comadre Tía Pilar. My friends rarely had more than a “Mom and Dad” to introduce.

According to this passage, what causes Alvarez to dread introducing her friends to her family?

her large family and their names, which Alvarez associates with being Dominican.
her friends’ rude and judgmental reactions to her very large and complicated family.
her entire family’s unglamorous appearance at her high school graduation
the large size of her Dominican family and the fact that they are very noisy
