D. By describing the voice of Elenita's mother as soft and sad, the author emphasizes her hurt, leaving the reader sympathetic to her.

Explanation:

Ortiz Cofer's work explores the breaks and holes that emerge between her split cultural legacies. Her initial drenching in both Puerto Rican and American culture molded her multi-kind methodology, which incorporates works of fiction, writing, verse, and some of the time a mix of the three. Her work The Latin Deli, which was selected for a Pulitzer-Prize, investigates different types, joining verse, short fiction, and individual account. She was additionally a writer of children's books.

D. By describing the voice of Elenita's mother as soft and sad, the author emphasizes her hurt, leaving the reader sympathetic to her.

Explanation:

By saying that she has the voice soft and sad, Judith tries to make the reader empatize with the mother and feel as she is feeling the hurt of seeing her daughter taking desicions that could affect her future, the pain of a mother knowing that she can´t make her daughter do what she wants her to do but still thinks she is making bad desicions.

it depends on how u want ur relationship to go, if u want something serious or not.   if u are to go on a first date go to somewhere nice, comfortable, and fun. don't make it so romantic because u can make the other person uncomfortable. don't make moves so fast and keep things chill.never force the other person to do things they don't want to do.
