Can someone summarize this for me pleas Mariam had never before touched a car. She ran her fingers along the hood of Jalil’s car, which was black, shiny, with glittering wheels in which Mariam saw a flattened, widened version of herself. The seats were made of white leather. Behind the steering wheel, Mariam saw round glass panels with needles behind them.
For a moment, Mariam heard Nana’s voice in her head, mocking, dousing the deep-seated glow of her hopes. With shaky legs, Mariam approached the front door of the house. She put her hands on the walls. They were so tall, so foreboding, Jalil’s walls. She had to crane her neck to see where the tops of cypress trees protruded over them from the other side. The treetops swayed in the breeze, and she imagined they were nodding their welcome to her. Mariam steadied herself against the waves of dismay passing through her.
A barefoot young woman opened the door. She had a tattoo under her lower lip.
“I’m here to see Jalil Khan. I’m Mariam. His daughter.”
A look of confusion crossed the girl’s face. Then, a flash of recognition. There was a faint smile on her lips now, and an air of eagerness about her, of anticipation. “Wait here,” the girls said quickly.
She closed the door.
A few minutes passed. Then a man opened the door. He was tall and square-shouldered, with sleepy-looking eyes and a calm face.
“I’m Jalil Khan’s chauffeur,” he said, not unkindly.
“His what?”
“His driver. Jalil Khan is not here.”
“I see his car,” Mariam said.

    2 units

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The x-coordinates are

    School = 2

    House = 5

    Count the units (lines) between the two x-coordinates

    The correct answer is B. Someone's face

    Explanation:

    In the poem presented by Gabriela Mistral, the narrator or author describes the feelings, emotions, and thoughts related to a person. In this the author mainly focuses on the face of the person being described and compares the face to different elements this can be seen in "as smooth as your forehead" or "for me all cruel things end: as gentle as your eyelids". This suggests while the narrator or author speaks, she seems to be looking at someone's face because the poem includes references to different parts of the face.
