"I’m a person who couldn’t ride a public bus when she first arrived, and now I’m someone who watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels." is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Bharati Mukherjee was an Indian American writer. Her works explored different styles of fiction and nonfiction genres, such as short stories, novels, among others. A 400-Year-Old Woman is an essay about the author's own process of adaptation.
Satire is employed to criticize aspects of a society or a person using humor or irony. It is used to expose vices. In the excerpt, readers understand that the speaker was a kind of threat to civilization -a vice- since she could not do even a basic thing such as riding a bus. Later, she recognizes her adaptation to more "sophisticated" things when she mentions that is a person who "watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels," showing two opposite things to create a humorous impact in the reader.
