But when she stepped onto the auditorium stage and stared into the sea of faces, every word vanished. She gripped the podium until her knuckles whitened, then closed her eyes. She pictured her abuela's voice: "Breathe, mija. The words are already inside you." When she opened her eyes, she began—slowly at first, then with gathering strength—and she did not stop until the final sentence rang through the hall.' Which of the following BEST describes how the memory of her abuela affects Marisol?
