What is most closely the central idea of the passage below (paragraphs 8-
10)?
They have a bleak future. He and Belky are not likely to finish grade school. Lourdes cannot
afford uniforms or pencils. Her husband is gone. A good job is out of the question.
Lourdes knows of only one place that offers hope. As a seven-year-old child delivering tortillas
her mother made to wealthy homes, she glimpsed this place on other people's television
screens. The filckering Images were a far cry from Lourdes's childhood home: a two-room
sheck made of wooden slets, its flimsy tin roof weighted down with rocks, the only bathroom a
clump of bushes outside. On television, she saw New York City's spectacular skyline. Las
Vegas's shimmering lights, Disneyland's magic castle.
Lourdes hos decided: She will leave. She will go to the United States and make money and
send it home. She will be gone for one year-less, with luck-or she will bring her children to
be with her. It is for them she is leaving, she tells herself but still she feels guilty.
A. The passage shows the reasons why Lourdes decides to migrate to the United
States.
B. The passage shows that Lourdes' dream has always been to live at Disneyland.
C. The passage shows why Lourdes and her family are poor.
D. The passage shows that Lourdes has always wanted to move to the United States.
