Please hurry D: Lucia is writing about an event in Esperanza Rising.

She hadn't noticed that several trucks were already unloading workers nearby. Then she heard it. First a small tittering and then louder. She turned around. A group of women were laughing at her. And in the middle of the group was Marta, pointing.

"¡La Cenicienta! Cinderella!" she laughed.

Which writing best describes how Esperanza responds to this event?

a. Esperanza is so unhappy after failing in her attempt to clean that she bursts into tears and runs to her mother. Mama calms her and promises to take her back to their former home.

b. Esperanza is so discouraged after hearing the laughter of the women that she drops her broom and runs back to the cabin. However, after an encouraging talk with her brother, Esperanza feels the courage to try again.

c. Esperanza is so embarrassed after the women laugh at her that she starts to brag about her old life with servants and fancy clothes. She feels much better after telling everyone that she once attended private school.

d. Esperanza is so silly after making a simple mistake that she starts to laugh at herself. She runs to Isabel and asks her to help her with her cleaning. The two girls help each other and become dear friends.
