"C'mon," I said. "Everyone else is outside," and I shuffled my friends to the backyard. I slid the glass door open; salsa music and laughter filled the air. Some of my uncles were slapping domino pieces onto the picnic table, conversing animatedly in Spanish. My father was busy tending to the pork in the smoker, discussing the finer points of Puerto Rican seasoning with his sister, my aunt. Toddlers were crawling around and playing with toys; my sisters, brother, and older cousins were playing softball. "Come here, mijo," my father said, signaling me to approach. I was glad my friends did not understand that mijo meant "buddy" in Spanish. I liked it when my dad called me mijo, but not in front of my friends! I sheepishly introduced Jerome and Dylan and was relieved when Father took over with the family introductions. At first, my friends seemed reluctant and uncomfortable, but after the fourth handshake, they were talking with my aunts and uncles like old friends. Then Father asked Jerome to help him add more wood to the smoker, and my uncles made room for Dylan to sit down and join them in a game of dominoes. "I think we are just going to hang out in my room," I said, hoping to rescue my friends from this nightmare. What conclusion can be made about the narrator of this reading?

A: He is worried that his friends are hungry and wants to make sure they eat soon.

B: He is concerned that his friends do not understand Spanish and will not be able to talk to his family.

C: He thinks his aunts and uncles will not like his friends, so he feels protective of them.
0
D: He is embarrassed about introducing his friends to his family, who are different than his friends.​
