Explicação
O trecho enfatiza como, ao chegar aos EUA (primeiro em Nova York e depois em Miami), a comunidade cubana em Miami era culturalmente insular nos anos 1970 (“bonded together by the trauma of exile”) e, por haver muitos cubanos em seu entorno (professores, colegas, trabalhadores etc.), o narrador não se sentia diferente nem tratado como minoria.
Isso caracteriza um cenário de inserção/integração social de cubanos em um espaço específico dos EUA (Miami), no qual a presença numerosa da comunidade e seus laços internos reduziam o sentimento de minoritariedade do autor.
Analisando as alternativas:
- (A) Educação formal: não é o foco; ele cita professores/colegas cubanos, mas não avalia qualidade da educação.
- (B) Prestígio da cultura cubana nos EUA: o texto fala de insularidade e quantidade de cubanos, não de prestígio social amplo.
- (C) Qualificação profissional: não aparece.
- (D) Integração de cubanos nos EUA: corresponde ao relato de pertencimento e ausência de discriminação por ser parte de uma comunidade numerosa e coesa.
- (E) Elo familiar: menciona família e exílio, mas o ponto central é a vivência comunitária e social em Miami.
