What does the following passage (paragraph __) mainly reveal about the author?
Inside the honors building I immediately noticed all the dark skin in the waiting room. I
sat on the couch between my parents, wondering whether I should have worn some
dream-catcher earrings. My letter had said that this was an interview for a merit
scholarship, with no mention of diversity. I worried that the interviewers were going to
quiz me about my favorite Indian ceremonies. If they wanted me to speak in my native
tongue, I would have to make something up on the spot. There was a lot of money on
the line.
The author no longer wants the scholarship.
The author's main focus in life is money.
O The author is embarrassed of her heritage.
The author wonders if she was selected not because of merit, but because of her heritage.
