MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

From "Why couldn't I have been named Ashley"

Why did the author structure paragraph 2 in this way?

When I was a fourth grader, I remember sitting in class that day just before the bell rang for dismissal. I remember thinking of all the names in the world, how I could have possibly been stuck with such an alien one. I thought about all the popular kids in the class. I figured that I wasn’t popular because of my weird name. I put some things together in my mind and came up with a plausible equation: COOL NAME = POPULARITY. The dismissal bell rang. As I mechanically walked out to catch my ride, I thought to myself, “Why couldn’t I have been named Ashley?”

To show how she solved equations in math class

To provide a list of reasons why she didn’t like her name

To explain that her name affected others' opinions of her

To describe her relationship with her fourth grade teacher
