What is most closely the central idea of the passage below (paragraphs 8- 10)?

They have a bleak future. He and Belky are not likely to finish grade school. Lourdes cannot
afford uniforms or pencils. Her husband is gone. A good job is out of the question.
Lourdes knows of only one place that offers hope. As a seven-year-old child delivering tortillas
her mother made to wealthy homes, she glimpsed this place on other people's television
screens. The filckering Images were a far cry from Lourdes's childhood home: a two-room
sheck made of wooden slets, its flimsy tin roof weighted down with rocks, the only bathroom a
clump of bushes outside. On television, she saw New York City's spectacular skyline. Las
Vegas's shimmering lights, Disneyland's magic castle.
Lourdes hos decided: She will leave. She will go to the United States and make money and
send it home. She will be gone for one year-less, with luck-or she will bring her children to
be with her. It is for them she is leaving, she tells herself but still she feels guilty.

A. The passage shows the reasons why Lourdes decides to migrate to the United
States.

B. The passage shows that Lourdes' dream has always been to live at Disneyland.

C. The passage shows why Lourdes and her family are poor.

D. The passage shows that Lourdes has always wanted to move to the United States.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
