B. True joy is experienced after difficult battles are won.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, we can deduce that the main idea it tries to convey is that "true joy is experienced after difficult battles are won."

This is correct because a closer look at the excerpt, we will discover that the narrator was happy when the questions were over. Also, when the official stamped the papers and said, "Welcome to the United States Of America", it was like a fight has been won which was expressed in Mama's face.

These expressions reveal that there is true joy for the family as they successfully passed the tests (difficult battles) to finally get to the United States.

what novel are you talking about?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
