The passage that most strongly shows Abuela’s lack of familiarity with New Jersey is:
B. “It is January, two feet of snow on the ground, and she’s wearing a shawl over a thick black dress.”
This passage highlights Abuela's unfamiliarity with the cold winter weather in New Jersey, suggesting that she may not be accustomed to dressing appropriately for such conditions.
