Esperanza Rising Test 2

Miguel calls Esperanza by her childhood name, "Anza."

The correct answer is Bandits because it is stated in the question that Papa was killed, and the bandits are the only option given that could have potentially committed the act of killing him. Tio Luis, Tio Marco, and Alfonso are not mentioned in relation to Papa's death, so they can be ruled out as potential suspects.

Miguel's family wants to find work in the United States. This is indicated by the fact that they are considering leaving the ranch and potentially working for their uncles. Additionally, the option of returning to Guadalajara, Mexico, where they are from, suggests that they are currently living somewhere else and are open to the idea of finding work in a different location.

Senor Rodriguez brought the papayas because Papa ordered them for the fiesta.

Esperanza avoided opening her gifts. The question is asking what she avoided, and out of the given options, opening her gifts is the only one that makes sense. The other options (speaking to anyone, going to the funeral, walking in the vineyard) are not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be considered as things that she avoided.

The lawyer's quote on page 34 suggests that the uncles have a significant amount of power and influence. It implies that they hold positions of authority, possibly as a banker and a mayor, which gives them control over certain aspects of the family's situation. This could mean that they have the ability to make important decisions or exert their influence to benefit the family.

Tio Luis offends Mama by proposing to marry him.

Esperanza finds it very wrong that her uncle is wearing Papa's belt buckle, the way her uncle's papers were on Papa's desk, and Tio Luis sitting in Papa's chair. These actions suggest that her uncle is trying to take over or replace her father's role and presence in their lives, which is unsettling and disrespectful to Esperanza and her family.

The correct answer is "a rope of red beads from Chita." This means that among the gifts given to her, a rope of red beads from Chita was not included.

Papa left the house and the income from the grapes for Mama and Esperanza. This means that he left them with a place to live and a source of income. The option "only A and B" correctly states that Papa left both the house and the income from the grapes, while the other options are either incomplete or incorrect.
