Read this quotation from an interview with Bharati Mukherjee and answer the question. The kind of criticism from literary critics and theorists who have encountered my own work stems from their belief that if you're India-born, you must write about India and you must write about an Indian woman or peasants being victimized It's absurd, when you think that I'm writing about the post-1965 immigration-transformed America, and that the majority of South Asians granted visas are urban, educated professionals and their families. The aim of fiction is to break down stereotypes. Unfortunately, the publishing and academic industries seem to profit more from reinforcing stereotypes.

Which excerpt from the passage best supports the ideas expressed in this interview?

"My horoscope, cast by a neighborhood astrologer when I was a week-old infant, predicted that I would be a writer, that I would cross oceans and make my home among aliens."
"I was born into a class that did not live in its native language. I was born into a city that feared its future, and trained me for emigration."
"My literary agenda begins by acknowledging that America has transformed me. It does not end until I show how I (and the hundreds of thousands like me) have transformed America."
"For all the hope and energy I have placed in the process of immigration and accommodation – I’m a person who couldn’t ride a public bus when she first arrived, and now I’m someone who watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels – there are parts of me that remain Indian."

Buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in upon spitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat. they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though he had not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear. twice his teeth clipped together, like the steel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lips that writhed and snarled. read this passage. explain what the conflict shows about buck and spitz.
