In "mami and papi," why does the author tell readers that the first thing her mother said to her after she burned her fingers was "that'll teach you"? a. to quickly demonstrate to readers that negi's mother is sensible, while negi is a dreamer b. to show readers that negi's mother was unkind to everyone c. to giver readers a firsthand account of the narrator's tendency to make foolish mistakes d. to immediately show the difficult relationship that negi once had with her mother question resources

I believe the correct answer is D. to immediately show the difficult relationship that Negi once had with her mother.
Usually, when kids get hurt somehow, parents will rush towards them to help them, hug them, and stop them from crying. But as you can see here, in this text that isn't the case. Negi burned her fingers, and was probably scared and in pain, yet her mother just said that it will teach her not to do the same thing again. It shows us a strained relationship between the mother and her daughter that would exist for a very long time in Negi's life.
