My brother is adopted. There's a technicality to the term, adopted, that contributes to its social acceptance. There's a novelty that, for a fleeting moment, absolves him of the ills of the past, that seems to cleanse him of its undesirable meanings. I say that my brother is adopted, and people tend to nod solemnly, disguising any regret, lowering their eyes as if they felt no urge to ask anything more. Perhaps they share my unease, perhaps they will indeed forget the subject with the next sip or the next bite. If the unease continues to reverberate within me, it's because I also hear the phrase in a partial way—my brother is a son—and it's difficult to accept that it doesn't end with the usual tautological truth: my brother is my parents' son. I'm intoning that my brother is a son, and a question always springs to my lips: whose son?

Analysis of Julián Fucoks' Text
The correct answer is option A. A) stigmatized social representations of parenthood.
1. Focus of Reflection: The Social Burden of the Term "Adoptive"
The narrator is not reflecting on love or internal family dynamics, but rather on the impact of the word "adopted" and how society reacts to it. His analysis is, therefore, about a... social representationThe text reveals how society deals with parenthood that deviates from the biological norm.
2. Evidence of Stigma
The narrator's reflection reveals that this social representation is stigmatizedThat is, it is laden with prejudice and discomfort, albeit in a veiled way. The evidence of this in the text is clear:
- The Social Reaction: People don't react naturally. They "nod solemnly," "disguising any regret," and "lowering their eyes." This is the behavior of someone facing a taboo, something sad or uncomfortable, which denotes a stigma. * Superficial "Cleaning": The term "adopted child" functions as a "technique" that "seems to cleanse it of its undesirable meanings" and "ills of the past." The need to "cleanse" something already implies that the original condition (being an orphan or coming from another family) is socially viewed as something dirty or problematic. * The Narrator's Unease: The narrator's own unease is a reflection of this social stigma. He realizes that the word "adopted" creates a fracture in the natural logic of the family ("my brother is my parents' son"), which leads him to the question "whose son is he?". This question only exists because society differentiates and stigmatizes adoptive parenthood in relation to biological parenthood.
3. Evaluation of Other Alternatives
- B) the need for approval from strangers: Incorrect. The narrator is not seeking approval; he critically analyzes the reaction of others, which is one of discomfort, not approval or disapproval. * C) to the veiled judgment of members of the family nucleus: Incorrect. The reaction described refers to "people" in general, not specifically family members. The conflict is social and internalized by the narrator. * D) to the conflict between the technical term and the emotional connection: Incorrect, but it's a good distractor. Although there is a conflict with the "technical term," the text doesn't delve into the "emotional bond." The main conflict described is between the reality of the family and the way... society She perceives and labels it, that is, its social representation. Option A is more accurate and comprehensive. * E) the anxieties inherent in sibling relationships: Incorrect. The narrator's unease is not a matter of jealousy, rivalry, or any other typical theme in sibling relationships. It is specifically and solely about the nature and meaning of adoption.
4. Conclusion
The narrator's reflections reveal how adoption, despite being socially accepted on a superficial level, is still treated based on... stigmatized social representationsNon-biological parenthood is viewed through a lens of regret and abnormality, which generates discomfort in others and a crisis of meaning in the narrator himself.
