Read the excerpt from The Namesake.

“That you want us to call him Nikhil.”

“That is correct.”

Mrs. Lapidus nods. “The reason being?”

“That is our wish.”

“I’m not sure I follow you, Mr. Ganguli. Do you mean that Nikhil is a middle name? Or a nickname? Many of the children go by nicknames here. On this form there is a space—”

“No, no, it’s not a middle name,” Ashoke says. He is beginning to lose patience. “He has no middle name. No nickname. The boy’s good name, his school name, is Nikhil.”

Mrs. Lapidus presses her lips together and smiles. “But clearly he doesn’t respond.”

“Please, Mrs. Lapidus,” Ashoke says. “It is very common for a child to be confused at first. Please give it some time. I assure you he will grow accustomed.”

What central idea of the passage is established in this excerpt?
Globalization allows immigrant families to easily adjust to the values and institutions of their new cultures and countries.
Globalization is a current trend that will not succeed because immigrant families will be unable to adjust to unfamiliar customs.
Globalization does not affect the way that immigrant families choose to practice their beliefs and traditions.
Globalization can cause confusion and discomfort as people adjust to different, often conflicting, cultural values and expectations.

The last one, Globalization can cause confusion and discomfort as people adjust to different, often conflicting, cultural values and expectations.

Explanation:

From my perspective this not only sounds more official and educational it is also true and factual. In the passage it shows how the teacher or Mrs. Lapisuds dosent understand why this person want the chil to be named Nikhil. And to connect it to the real world, when people first started to globalize (if that's a word) yes all of the other things happened but mainly was the confusion between culture and ethnicites. A lot of people today are stil confused becasue of being taught and raised to believe one thing but as they receive education the beleive another. This is a much more serious problem than names but is also a significant difference on the two different minds that are comparing their beleifs. One wanting a meaning behind it, kind of the 'educational way' and one the way the always have done it.

Sorry if this was too long :/

the answer is d/the final option.

Explanation:

People have a hard time adjusting and this can cause conflict in them. In this excerpt it says most everyone goes by nicknames. They ask for them to call him "Nikhil" in order to grab his attention. This can have both positive and negative effects. These outcomes would mainly have a positive effect however. But thats a different topic.
