Antоjоs An оld womаn emerged аt lаst from a shack behind the cabana, buttoning up a torn housedress, and followed closely by a little boy, who kept ducking behind her 5 whenever Yolanda smiled at him. Asking his name just drove him further into the folds of the old woman's skirt. "You must excuse him, Doña," she apologized. "He's not used to being 10 among people." But Yolanda knew the old woman meant not the people in the village, but the people with money who drove through Altamira to the beaches on the coast. "Your name," the old woman 15 repeated, as if Yolanda hadn't asked him in Spanish. The little boy mumbled at the ground. "Speak up!" the old woman scolded, but her voice betrayed pride when she spoke up for him. "This little 20 know-nothing is Jose Duarte Sanchez y Mella Garcia." Yolanda laughed. Not only were those a lot of names for such a little boy, but they certainly were momentous: the surnames 25 of the three liberators of the country! "Can I serve the Doña in any way?" the woman asked. Yolanda gave the tree line beyond the woman's shack a glance. "You think you might have some guavas 30 around?" The old woman's face scrunched up. "Guavas?" she murmured and thought to herself a second. "Why, they're all around, Doña. But I can't say as I've 35 seen any." "With your permission—" Jose Duarte had joined a group of little boys who had come out of nowhere and were milling around the car, boasting how many 40 automobiles they had ridden in. At Yolanda's mention of the guavas, he sprung forward, pointing across the road towards the summit of the western hills. "I know where there's a whole grove of 45 them." Behind him, his little companions nodded. "Go on, then!" His grandmother stamped her foot as if she were scatting a little animal. "Get the Doña some." 50 A few boys dashed across the road and disappeared up a steep path on the hillside, but before Jose could follow, Yolanda called him back. She wanted to go along too. The little boy looked 55 towards his grandmother, unsure of what to think. The old woman shook her head. The Doña would get hot, her nice clothes would get all dirty. Jose would get the Doña as many guavas as she was 60 wanting. "But they taste so much better when you've picked them yourself," Yolanda's voice had an edge, for suddenly, it was as if the woman had turned into the long 65 arm of her family, keeping her away from seeing her country on her own. pear-shaped fruit Adapted from "Antojos," by Julia Alvarez.

Which statement best suggests the cause of Yolanda's frustration in the passage?
Grub My plаtter аrrives, the wаitress urging, “Eat up, hоn,” befоre she hustles away. The оmelet has been made with processed cheese, anemic and slithery. 5 The toast is of white bread that clots on my tongue. The strawberry jelly is the color and consistency of gum erasers. My mother reared me to eat whatever was put in front of me, and so I eat. I 10 look around. At six-thirty this Saturday morning, every seat is occupied. Why are we all here? Why are we wolfing down this dull, this dangerous, this terrible grub? 15 So why are we here in these swaybacked booths eating poorly cooked food that is bad for us? The answer, I suspect, would help to explain why so many of us are so much bigger than we ought to be. I sniff, 20 and the aroma of grease and peppery sausage, frying eggs and boiling coffee jerks me back into the kitchen of my grandparents’ farm. I see my grandmother, barefoot and bulky, mixing 25 biscuit dough with her blunt fingers. Then I realize that everything Ladyman’s serves she would have served. This is farm food, loaded with enough sugar and fat to power a body through a slogging 30 day of work, food you could fix out of your own garden and chicken coop and pigpen, food prepared without spices or sauces, cooked the quickest way, as a woman with chores to do and a passel of 35 mouths to feed would cook it. “Hot up that coffee, hon?” the waitress asks. “Please, ma’am,” I say, as though answering my grandmother. My father 40 stopped at places like Ladyman’s because there he could eat the vittles he knew from childhood, no-nonsense grub he never got at home from his wife, a city woman who had studied nutrition, and 45 who had learned her cuisine from a Bostonian mother and a Middle Eastern father. I stop at places like Ladyman’s because I am the grandson of farmers, the son of a farm boy. If I went from 50 booth to booth, interviewing the customers, most likely I would find hay and hogs in each person’s background, maybe one generation back, maybe two. My sophisticated friends would not eat 55 here for love or money. They will eat peasant food only if it comes from other countries—hummus and pita, fried rice and prawns, liver pâté, tortellini, tortillas, tortes. Never black-eyed peas, never 60 grits, never short ribs or hush puppies or shoofly pie. This is farm food, and we who sit here and shovel it down are bound to farming by memory or imagination. 65 With the seasoning of memory, the slithery eggs and gummy toast and rubbery jam taste better. I lick my platter clean. Adapted from “Grub” by Scott Russell Sanders, from Wigwag, June, 1990. By contrasting his parent's backgrounds, what does the author imply?
