Graduation Celebration with Family

What can we infer from the passage about Julia's family?

A. The people at the store do not share Julia's heritage.

B. Julia is very upset about her party.

C. Julia's family does not speak Spanish.

D. Pudín is not a Dominican dessert.

Answer

The correct inference from the passage is that the people at the store do not share Julia's heritage.

In the excerpt, Julia Alvarez describes a graduation party thrown by her family for her. The party included sancocho and a store-bought pudín inscribed with "Happy Graduation, Julie." The fact that the pudín was bought from a store and not homemade suggests that the people at the store do not share Julia's Dominican heritage.

Julia's family's celebration of her graduation with traditional Dominican food indicates a strong connection to their heritage. The inclusion of sancocho, a traditional Dominican stew, further supports this idea.

Although the passage does not mention Julia's language proficiency or her emotional state, the focus on the cultural elements of the celebration suggests that her family is proud of their heritage and chooses to honor it during important events like graduations.
