Which evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
"Mami balanced on the floorboards to her bed, lay me beside her, held me tight, kissed my forehead, my eyes, and murmured, 'It’s all right. It’s over. It’s all right.'"
"'Let’s go make supper!' She singsang to make it sound like fun. Delsa and Norma followed her skirt, but I stared at the dirt, where squiggly lines stretched from one wall to the other."

"Its windows and doors were also metal, and, as we stepped in, I touched the wall and burned my fingers.'That’ll teach you,' Mami scolded."
