Question

read the excerpt from down my head look dig in this? by randa abdel fattah
i froze. the priest would declare me a heretic, my parents would call me a traitor, and mrs. piogarni would give me detention. i had no idea what to say. i mean, what does a muslim confess to a priest? i could only think of one thing. that every time chris barkley called me a darkie; or teased me about my moms towel - head, i made a silent prayer asking god to drop a tree on his stupid head.
the priest asked me again: what is your confession, my child?
im muslim, i whispered.
five hail marys and five of the lords prayer.
that was my first and last participation in a church service.
which sentence best explains how the tone reveals the narrators perspective?
the narrator is frightened because she is a muslim making a catholic confession.
the narrator is confused because she does not know what the lords prayer is.
the narrator is terrified because she is ashamed of her previous thoughts.
the narrator is annoyed because no one has taught her how to make a confession.

Explanation:

The narrator is a Muslim, and the text shows her fear of the consequences (priest declaring her a heretic, parents calling her a traitor, Mrs. Piogarni giving detention) of making a Catholic confession. This indicates her fright due to the religious - context mismatch.

Answer:

The narrator is frightened because she is a Muslim making a Catholic confession.
