2.PART B: Which passage from the text best supports the answer to Part A?A“They can’t leave the house alone; they’re not educate
d; and they’re dressed in clothes that conceal them” ( Paragraph 1)B“the bacha posh, girls who dress up like boys to live as a boy as long as they can.” ( Paragraph 3)C“boys look like boys and girls look like girls.” ( Paragraph 7)D“Afghan girls are supposed to become girls again,” ( Paragraph 8)
'Why Afghanistan’s ‘Underground Girls’ Skirt Tradition to Live as Boys' is an interview taken by NPR of Jenny Nordberg, who wrote about <em>bacha posh</em> in Afghanistan. The central idea presented in the text is that by making girls dressed as boys, girls and women in Afghanistan are more oppressed and controlled.
The statement that best supports this central idea is statement from paragraph 1, <em>"They can’t leave the house alone; they’re not educated; and they’re dressed in clothes that conceal them." </em>By concealing the true identity of girls in childhood, the society of Afghanistan tend to control them.
The narrator does not trust what Agnes has told her. This is because she blatantly states about servants keeping visiting friends secrets. The thought of someone keeping a secret -especially when a question is asked- is seen as untruthful.
