I do think my parents grew to love one another, in a way. Their marriage was not their choice, so they couldn't understand why I would choose to marry Maria. She was not the same religion or social standing in their eyes, so where was the appeal? The value they placed on love was far below that of tradition, so I felt it was useless to try to explain.

How could the author best resolve this situation to create a feeling of satisfaction?

A. The narrator makes several attempts to include Maria in his family's culture. B. Maria confronts the parents' preconceptions, and they come to realize that she is a wonderful person.

C. The narrator's parents forbid him to see Maria and arrange a marriage for him.

D. The narrator runs off with Maria to get married and has no further contact with his parents.

A. Because he states that Maria was in a different religion and had different traditions too. and he's trying to include her in his and his family's culture. he says "their marriage was not their choice". Because their marriage was chosen for them. So maybe his parents would like him to carry the tradition. And that's why they are uncertain with why he married Maria.
