Which part of this excerpt from jhumpa lahiri’s “once in a lifetime” indicates hema’s mother’s bengali heritage? a) i asked how long you would be staying with us b) my mother couldn’t say; it all depended on how long it took your family to get settled c) the prospect of having to give up my room infuriated me d) i’d regularly slept with my parents on the cot in their room, and not in the room where i kept my clothes and things e) my mother considered the idea of a child sleeping alone a cruel american practice

E) My mother considered the idea of a child sleeping alone a cruel American practice.

The excerpt shows that Hema's mother does not endorse all American practices, which indicates she has a different cultural heritage, in this case, a Bengali one.

many scientists' predictions of climate change include: warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, and more frequent storms.
