Read this excerpt from “life without go-go boots” by barbara kingsolver and answer the question. we lived in the country, in the middle of an alfalfa field; we had no immediate access to bobbie brooks sweaters. i went to school in the hand-me-downs of a cousin three years older. she had excellent fashion sense, but during the three-year lag her every sleek outfit turned to a pumpkin. … my black lace-up oxfords, which my parents perceived to have orthopedic value, carried their own weight in the spectacle. i suspected people noticed, and i knew it for sure on the day billy stamps announced to the lunch line, “make way for the bride of frankenstein.” judging from the diction in the above excerpt, what is one of the writer’s themes? fashion turns people into monsters. people mistakenly and cruelly judge you based on fashion. fashion is good for your posture and social status. fashion accurately shows the world your worth.

2) People mistakenly and cruelly judge you based on fashion.

Some people tend to be very superficial, usually leaning to judge or have an opinion on someone merely based on the way they look, the way they dress and whether they use fashion clothes or not, rather than the way they actually are. In the text, the narrator focuses on the fashion of her cousin and then, the clothes that she herself wears, and tells a particular event in which she was mistakenly and cruelly judge as the "Bride of Frankenstein" only because of her orthopedic black lace-up oxfords.

i think the answer is c.  

answer: inference

explanation:

an inference can be understood as a conclusion to which a person is able to get based on reasoning. it is the same as a deduction, a guess, an assumption.   in the sentence presented, the conjunction "but" gives the readers an idea of contrast, and, therefore, allows them to induce that despite the opponent's characteristics, andrea had something different that made her win.
