Question

\earth,\ i answer with a straight face, \what about you?\ beside me, my friend olivia sympathetically pats my back because shes heard this exchange many times in the last two months, ever since my family moved to daleyfield, wisconsin, for my mothers teaching job. in fact, olivia had made the same inquiry. asking where im from is code for you dont look like us—whats your home country? i dont know why its so hard to comprehend that a chinese american girl was born and raised in a big southern city. what do the events in the beginning of the story reveal about the narrator? she gets frustrated when strangers attempt to talk to her. she gets annoyed when people form beliefs or ideas about her. she gets sad when she thinks about her previous hometown. she gets confused when she has to answer too many questions.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option A: The narrator is frustrated about the repeated misperception, not about strangers talking to her. So A is incorrect.
2. Analyze Option B: The narrator is annoyed because people keep assuming she's not from the US (forming the idea that she's from another country) despite her being Chinese American born in a US city. This matches.
3. Analyze Option C: There's no indication she's sad about her previous hometown; she's frustrated about others' misperception. So C is incorrect.
4. Analyze Option D: She's not confused about answering questions, but annoyed about the misinformed assumptions behind the questions. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. She gets annoyed when people form beliefs or ideas about her.
