In judith ortiz cofer's "gravity," how does elenita conflict with her mother? a. her mother forbids her from dating gerald, a boy from school. b. her mother takes her out of catholic school so that she can attend public school. c. elenita dresses in a way that her mother disapproves of. d. elenita criticizes her mother for being old-fashioned.
