The passage that best support the idea that Judy wants to fit in american culture is the one when she responds: "New York", after all I had been born away at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital"...
"Originally from the Caribbean" I answered vaguely. When a student is a foreigner or has immigrant parents, or is an immigrant him or herself, frequently finds it very difficult to fit in the new society. On the other hand, they have to deal with the lack of knowledge of some of the students about certain countries. Although it's not the case in this passage, because the character "was born in New York" , She still feels that it is not enough. For the "local ones" this does not define the person´s "origin", which in this case forces the character to try to explain where in the map is "her origin"
So they use general information to make it easier to understand. When She says: "From the Caribbean", she expects the other to understand better her explanation. However, as mentioned before, the information is still not enough.

Answer: D (or A, but I believe it's D)</h2>
Explanations
"A. A falling apple inspired Newton to think about gravity." Yes this is true, but instead of only thinking about it, he expressed his law of universal gravitation, etc. I understand how this could be the answer though. :>
"B. Gravity is when objects are pulled to the Earth." This is true aswell, but the text gives off more information than just what Gravity is. Newton is a big part of the text. Mostly the main character but narrating in third person.
"C. Newton wrote a series of books called Principia." Newton did this, but this isn't the main idea. If it was, the text would've explained more about it. This is more of a detail or maybe key detail.
"D. Newton discovers gravity.' I choose this as the correct answer because, the text talks about Newton discovering gravity, and when using the word discover in this, it's also like saying he discovered gravity from a falling apple, and contemplated about gravity.
<span>Romantic ideals in the early to mid-nineteenth century were shattered by the Civil War. Americans grew disillusioned by the war. They didn't agree with the glorious depiction of war that romantic literature tried to capture, both during and after the war. This disillusionment led writers to take a different perspective in their literature. Literary movements such as realism, naturalism, and pastoralism were the result. While realism and naturalism embraced scientific principles, pastoralism attempted to recapture romanticism by portraying the simple life. During the post-Civil War period, some writers felt that there was a need to show that romantic literature, as a whole, was not forgotten. Pastoralism depicted the beauty of a simple life, in particular, that of a shepherd’s, in order to recapture romanticism. Plato</span>
This excerpt from "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" reveals that the grandmother 'cares deeply about her appearance' since one would think that she was a 'lady.' In other words, 'a woman of superior social position.'
