Answer:
The Puerto Rican sisters in "I Want to Be Miss America" try to adopt the "American look."
Explanation:
In the short story I Want to Be Miss America, Ju lia Alvarez wrote about how four sisters from the Dominican Republic tried to adapt to their new life in New York, despite being "Hispanics". Their physical appearance, their features all defy their own need to "look" American.
While watching their annual Miss America pageant, the narrator recounts how she and her three sisters would try to look like those in the pageant. They even bought "a big tube of Nair" and shaved their legs despite their mother's warnings. She also mentioned, "We would have to translate our looks into English, iron and tweeze them out, straighten them and mold them into Made-in-the-USA beauty". These show that the sisters tried hard to adopt the "American look".

3. When you are describing a human subject (the person doing or being something in the sentence),
an adjective clause begins with
Answer:
When you are describing a human subject (the person doing or being something in the sentence), an adjective clause begins with who or that.
Explanation:
An adjective clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb. It offers further description or information - similar to what an adjective does - about something that was mentioned in another sentence. Adjective clauses are often introduced by relative pronouns such as who, which, when, where, whose or that.
If the clause is describing a human subject (the person doing or being something in the sentence), it must begin with either "who" or "that". If the clause is describing a non-human subject, it must begin with either "which" or "that". Since what is important in this question is the human subject, let's take a look at the examples below:
1. Look over there! That is the man who sold me a counterfeit watch! --> "who" refers to "man". "Man" performed the action of selling.
2. My sister is the girl that always wears a read sweater. --> "that" refers to "sister". "Sister" performs the action of wearing.

Read this excerpt from "The Open Boat" by Stephen Crane: It is fair to say here that there was not a lifesaving station within twenty miles in either direction, but the men did not know this fact and in consequence they made dark and opprobrious remarks concerning the eyesight of the nation's lifesavers. Four scowling men sat in the dinghy and surpassed records in the invention of epithets. What is the meaning of the word opprobrious within the context of the excerpt?
Answer:
C. Expressing criticism or contempt.
Explanation:
The word "opprobrious" means to criticize or say a bad word about a particular thing. It contains a negative meaning for the given word and is used as a means of expressing scorn or derogatory word about the thing.
In the given passage from The Open Boat by Stephen Crane, the four survivors of the shipwreck were on a lifeboat, hoping and looking for the sight of any help, land or people to be saved. And in their eagerness to be found, they were oblivious to the fact that there was no lifesaving station nearby. And as a result, they blamed the "nation's lifesavers" for their poor eyesight and their inability to see them struggle out in the sea. The author used the word "opprobrious" to state how the four men criticized and expressed their negative feelings about the inability of the men supposed to be out working to save any survivors out at sea.

Now you won't get bored in a line at the supermarket or be wondering what to do while you wait at a mechanic's shop during a quick fix for your car, the possibilities are endless. Now the next way is #2. Meditation. This one takes a bit more focus and you'll want to find a nice and quiet spot to be able to do this activity. Say goodbye to stress though, this activity will change your mind on life. It's a useful tool for you to use and if you don't find it helpful for your mental state then I'm a fraud and you should uninvite me from Cindy's party next month. (I'm just playing Joe Bro, you know I'm bringing the brewskis hehe) Anyways Joseph, now that I've discussed my secrets, I hope you're ready for change in your life.
