One Saturday afternoon day, Olinda's mother walked into her room with some startling news. She told Olinda that she would have to share a bedroom with her brother from now on because her grandparents were coming to live with them. Her grandparents would sleep in Olinda's room. Naturally, Olinda was very upset. She had absolutely no interest in sharing a room with her brother. He was, like most thirteen-year-old boys, so messy and stinky. Her bedroom was immaculately clean, and his was the complete opposite. She could not fathom having to share this space with him. Not to mention her privacy, and as a fifteen-year-old girl, privacy was a big deal! After thinking about and dwelling over the situation, Olinda told her parents that she didn't want her grandparents to move in with them.

Read the excerpt from the story Moving in with My Brother:

Yesterday, my mom surprised me with some news. She told me that my grandparents are moving in with us at the end of the summer, so I will be sharing a room with my brother from now on. I was so caught off guard and baffled! I couldn't even focus on the fact that my grandparents were moving in because I was so upset at the thought of sharing a room with my brother. Not only is he a stinky teenage boy, but all he does is play video games all day and talk on his headset to random people. Not to mention, every nook and cranny is filled with snack wrappers, sour smelling socks, and piles of two-week old dirty clothes. I work really hard to keep my room clean, and all I could think about was how this would not work. There had to be some other way! I mean, I love my brother, but sharing a room is not something we should be doing. I felt like the walls were caving in, and the world was ending. My mind raced as I paced back and forth, and I thought, why couldn't they just stay where they were? Why did I have to give up my room? It wasn't fair.

What is similar about how the authors use point of view in each excerpt?

A. Both passages show Olinda feels embarrassed by a family member.
B. Both passages show Olinda feels happy because her grandparents are coming.
C. Both passages show Olinda feels sad because her parents are always right.
D. Both passages show Olinda feels troubled because things are changing.
