Question

question 7
in chapter 20, luis asks sol for help getting a job across the border. why does sol say she cannot help luis?
a he is not a us citizen, so sol cannot get him a job at wallen’s without a social security number.
b sol does not want him working with her because she is finally happy when she is away from her family.
c luis is too young to get a job across the border.
d sol wants luis to stay and help papi and abuela take care of diego.

Explanation:

To determine why Sol can't help Luis, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If Luis isn't a US citizen, a Social Security number (required for employment at Wallen's) can't be obtained, so Sol can't help him get the job. This aligns with employment requirements in the US.
• Option B: The text doesn't suggest Sol is happy away from family or doesn't want Luis working with her for that reason.
• Option C: There's no indication Luis is too young; the issue is about citizenship/SSN, not age.
• Option D: The question is about getting a job across the border, not about staying to care for Diego.

Answer:

A. He is not a US citizen, so Sol cannot get him a job at Wallen’s without a Social Security number.
