Esperanza described how she felt by comparing herself to:

D) A red balloon tied to an anchor.

Explanation:

In "The House on Mango Street", character Esperanza uses a metaphor to describe the way she feels for not having someone she can call a best friend:

“Until then, I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor.”

The anchor is her own sister, Nenny. It is important to notice that an anchor does provide some safety, but it also holds one down. Esperanza feels that she and Nenny cannot be friends. No wonder they are opposites - a balloon and an anchor. Esperanza is ready to fly away, to find someone else, someone she can count on, someone she can share anything and everything with.
