Looking over the excerpts shown below, which of the following best compares the themes of the passages? [Mama] would quickly subordinate her own desires to those of the family or the community, because she knew cooperation was the only way to survive. At the same time she placed a high premium on personal privacy, respected it in others and insisted upon it for herself. ...Almost everyone at Manzanar had inherited this pair of traits from the generations before them who had learned to live in a small, crowded country like Japan."

Greedy for stories, I devoured books in the children's section of the library. In those days, it was easy to conclude that any tale worth publishing originated in the so-called West, was written in English, and featured North American or European characters.

Slowly, insidiously, I began to judge my heritage through colonial eyes. I asked my mother not to wear a sari, her traditional dress, when she visited me at school.

I avoided the sun so that the chocolate hue of my skin couldn't darken. The nuances and cadences of my father’s Bangla began to grate on my ears. "Not THAT story again, Dad," I'd say. "I'm reading right now."

1. Both passages deal with strong individuals that hold onto what makes them strong and powerful.

2. Both passages deal with ignoring one's heritage and beiefs in order to adopt an American way of life.

3. Both passages deal with a younger generation shunning the older generation.

4. Both passages deal with the treatment of groups during war time and what a country will do to win the war.
