Question

read the two excerpts about pilar from dreaming in cuban. excerpt 1: they called me brujita, little witch. i stared at them, tried to make them go away. excerpt 2: another woman, an elderly mulatta, claimed that her hair was falling out from the menacing stares the baby gave her. which statement is the best synthesis for the two excerpts? most cuban women rely on the services of nannies when raising their children. supernatural experiences are frequently dismissed as being coincidental in cuban culture. inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in cuban culture. many cuban children remember the earliest events of their childhood.

Explanation:

Excerpt 1 shows people calling the narrator a "little witch" and her trying to make them go away. Excerpt 2 has a woman claiming hair - loss due to a baby's "menacing stares". Both are examples of inexplicable events (a baby's stare causing hair - loss, being called a witch) being given supernatural interpretations (witchcraft, a baby's stare having magical/malevolent power) in Cuban culture.

Answer:

C. Inexplicable events are sometimes interpreted as supernatural experiences in Cuban culture.
