Question

read the passage. hanas ambivalence about the trip was understandable. she wanted to visit her parents country of birth, but she was worried that it would be difficult for her family to get back into the country when they came home. based on context clues in the excerpt, what is the most likely meaning of ambivalence? certainty indecisiveness excitement fear

Explanation:

The passage shows Hana has conflicting feelings - wanting to visit but worried about returning. "Ambivalence" refers to having mixed or conflicting emotions/attitudes. "Certainty" (surety) and "excitement" (enthusiasm) don't fit as there's a negative aspect (worry). "Fear" is too one - sided. "Indecisiveness" (unable to make a clear choice due to conflicting feelings) aligns with the context.

Answer:

indecisiveness
