Read the two excerpts about Jorge del Pino from Dreaming in Cuban.

Excerpt 1: My grandfather came running and said, “Celia, let the girl go. She belongs with Lourdes.”

Excerpt 2: “Pilar doesn’t hate you, hija. She just hasn’t learned to love you yet.”

Which statement best synthesizes the ideas in these two excerpts?
Jorge understands that mother-daughter relationships can be complex.
Jorge values his relationship with his daughter more than the one with his wife.
Jorge wants more than anything to build a closer relationship with his granddaughter.
Jorge wants his family to value their Cuban background and stay together.

"Jorge understands that mother-daughter relationships can be complex."

Both lines show him recognizing complicated family bonds: in the first he accepts that the child "belongs with Lourdes," and in the second he explains that Pilar's feelings aren't simple hatred but an undeveloped love. The other choices are not supported by these excerpts.
