what is the best example of cultural conflict in the excerpt?

a. elenita versus her mother's controlling nature

b. elenita versus her mother's traditional ideas of fashion

c. elenita versus her mother's sense of generosity

d. elenita versus the literature of her mother's homeland

B. Elenita versus her mother's traditional ideas of fashion.

In this excerpt, Elenita shows how she has very different ideas from her mother when it comes to fashion. When she wins a contest due to the essay she wrote, she is given a certificate. Because of this, her mother buys her a party dress for the ceremony. However, Elenita does not like her mother's style and she quickly changes her clothes when she gets to school. This shows that Elenita has very different opinions in terms of fashion when compared to her mother's more traditional ones.

in paragraph 6 of "sinners in the hands of an angry god" by jonathan edwards, he talks about how doing good things alone will not save men from going to hell because they're at the mercy of the will of god. "spiritual reform" provides men with a false sense of safety.
