To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the information provided. In "Names/Nombres," Alvarez receives a typewriter as a graduation gift. We need to think about what this gift symbolizes and what the author is trying to convey through this act.

To do this, we can reread the text and pay attention to any details or context provided. We can also consider any insights or thoughts mentioned by the protagonist, as well as any comments made by other characters. Additionally, we can think about the sociocultural context of the story and any possible meanings associated with typewriters at that time.

Once we gather this information, we can evaluate the options provided:

A. her parents want her to have something useful.
This option seems plausible, as typewriters were commonly used for writing and office work.

B. her parents know she will share it with her sisters.
There is no evidence or indication in the question or text that suggests this is the case. Thus, this option can be ruled out.

C. her parents hope she will get a job as a secretary.
This option is possible if typewriters were commonly associated with secretarial work at the time. We can consider the sociocultural context to assess its likelihood.

D. her parents are encouraging her interest in writing.
This option is also possible, as typewriters were commonly used by writers for writing and editing manuscripts.

To find the correct answer, we need to analyze the text and make an informed inference based on the author's intent and the contextual clues provided. It might be helpful to review specific passages or scenes related to the gift of the typewriter.
