Looking over the excerpts shown below, which of the following best compares the themes of the passages? [Mama] would quickly subordinate her own desires to those of the family or the community, because she knew cooperation was the only way to survive. At the same time she placed a high premium on personal privacy, respected it in others and insisted upon it for herself. ...Almost everyone at Manzanar had inherited this pair of traits from the generations before them who had learned to live in a small, crowded country like Japan."

Slowly, insidiously, I began to judge my heritage through colonial eyes. I asked my mother not to wear a sari, her traditional dress, when she visited me at school.

1. Both passages deal with strong individuals that hold onto what makes them strong and powerful.

3. Both passages deal with a younger generation shunning the older generation.

4. Both passages deal with the treatment of groups during war time and what a country will do to win the war.
