Answer:
1) A nun looked at the narrator's house as if it were a terrible place to live.
2) She is the more carefree child, the one who has her own opinions.
- She is using the wild description of her hair to imply that she is also wild. It wouldn't be choice B, because that's too literal; and C and D don't make sense.
3) She feels like her family is holding her back from opportunities and experiences.
- If she had stopped with the balloon, it would have been a happy metaphor. But a balloon tied to an anchor? Can't fly, can't go anywhere with the anchor holding it down.
4) She and Nenny's laughter is loud and grabs the attention of anyone nearby.
- She's contrasting it with Rachel and Lucy. It's not orthodox, it's carefree and noisy.
5) She feels ashamed that she and Nenny have no money to buy anything.
- Nenny asks how much the music box is, but Gil doesn't even offer it because he knows they don't have any money. Esperanza knows, though.
6) She wishes she had a different name than Esperanza.
- The author is contrasting the two worlds, the hispanic and american, that they live between. Her name is hard to pronounce, and she connects it with sadness and longing.
In this sentence the word "but" is a coordinating word.
There are seven coordinated conjuctions which are and, but, for, nor, or, so, and yet. Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses. They connect sweeping ideas together, creating cohesive, comprehensive ideas. In the case of BUT, it shows contract between the first idea and the second one. In this case the contradictions lies in the fact that the girl wanted to sit in a place where there were no more available sears.

Explanation:
"A Girl from Yamhill" is a memoir by author Beverly Cleary. In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, the universal theme that can be noticed is that hard work often leads to injuries and suffering. <u>We all know that, as a general rule, farm work is hard work. It demands a lot of physical strength from those performing it. The character in the excerpt has the muscles to do the work, but his shoulder sockets are too shallow for the weight of those muscles. When the horses jer.k on the reins, he dislocates his arm. This injury obviously leads to pain and suffering.</u>
