PART A: After the racquetball match, how do José’s feeling about Estela change?

A
He is impressed by her win, and he likes her even more.
B
He is upset that she didn’t let him win, and dislikes how competitive she is.
C
He is impressed by her good sportsmanship, and comes to respect her.
D
He is embarrassed that she beat him, and finds that he no longer likes her.

he is suggesting that this widow is a strong woman, who is giving constructive criticism and she has enough to worry about, and she takes care of him, so he does not take it to heart.

i would say c, admiration because the narrator related to the main character and she, too, once felt ashamed about her culture and wished to be an american girl to impress a boy. she felt admiration because her mom prepared her favorite foods when her and robert's (the guy she liked) family all came together and had a family reunion.

we would need to be able to read the passage in question to determine which factor allowed david believe he could defeat goliath. post the passage, and i'd love to out.

it makes the game seem more impressive.
