Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.

Our first few years in the States, though, ethnicity was not yet “in.” Those were the blond, blue-eyed, bobby-sock years of junior high and high school before the sixties ushered in peasant blouses, hoop earrings, serapes. My initial desire to be known by my correct Dominican name faded. I just wanted to be Judy and merge with the Sallys and Janes in my class. But, inevitably, my accent and coloring gave me away.

Which detail best conveys the main idea that Alvarez wants to fit into her new culture?

What is Ethnicity?

Ethnicity may be expressed as the sociable group a person belongs to, and either recognizes with or is determined by others, as a consequence of a mixture of cultural and other elements including the tongue, diet, belief, origin, and physical attributes traditionally associated with race.

The context of this story illustrates the difficulty faced by Alvarez to fit into the American culture as she belongs of Latin origin.

She desired to match in and be tolerated in this civilization and that's why she expresses that she wanted to connect with the Sallys and Janes in her classroom, as they had the American prototype and culture that everyone respected.

Therefore, it is well described above.
