Read the two excerpts about Pilar from Dreaming in Cuban.

Excerpt 1: They called me brujita, little witch. I stared at them, tried to make them go away.

Excerpt 2: Another woman, an elderly mulatta, claimed that her hair was falling out from the menacing stares the baby gave her.

Which statement is the best synthesis for the two excerpts?

A. Most Cuban women rely on the services of nannies when raising their children.

B. Supernatural experiences are frequently dismissed as being coincidental in Cuban culture.

C. Inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture.

D. Many Cuban children remember the earliest events of their childhood.

The statement which is the best synthesis for the two excerpts is:

C. Inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture.

Explanation:

"Dreaming in Cuban" is a novel by author Cristina García. It features three generations of a single family and the plot moves between the United States and Cuba. The two excerpts we are analyzing here show how superstition can play an important role in some countries' cultures. Both of them represent how inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture. Pilar is called by others a "little witch", and she tries to make them go away just with her stare. Besides that, a woman attributes her hair loss to the way a baby stares at her. Instead of trying to find plausible and realistic explanations for events, people seem to just assume, superstitiously.

Other students in the class that Scoresby studied with did very well in their examination displaying their level of intelligence.  

On the contrary, Scoresby hardly knew anything.  His did not perform well displaying his stupidity.

Explanation:

As related by Clergyman in the passage “Luck” by Mark Twain, the paragraph “About forty years ago, I was an instructor in the military academy ………..give answers that were miracles of stupidity.  I knew of course that when examined again he would fail and be thrown out”, gives us enough evidence that in comparison to the performance of other students in the class when examined, Scoresby’s performance was very bad.  

According to the clergyman, who was his instructor then in school, Scoresby was not doing well in the class.  The clergyman even quoted his answers as “stupidity”, “stupid head.”   He did not know about Julius Caesar’s history nor was he good at Mathematics.
