What is the main reason Louie's cousin might have avoided arrest after stealing the yellow Cadillac?

• A. He blended in with his surroundings
• B. The car was not highly noticeable
• C. He did not return to Mango Street
• D. He acted quickly before anyone noticed

Answer: (C)

The main reason Louie's cousin likely avoided arrest after stealing the yellow Cadillac is that he did not return to Mango Street. This choice highlights that by not coming back to the area where everyone knew him and where law enforcement might be looking for him, he could evade detection. The community's familiarity with him might have made it easier for the police to find him had he returned. Instead, by leaving the scene and possibly going somewhere less familiar, he increased his chances of escaping capture.

The incorrect options do not accurately address the key elements of avoidance in this context. Blending in with his surroundings and the car not being highly noticeable could offer some benefits in terms of not attracting attention initially, but they do not account for the broader strategy of staying away from an identifiable location. Acting quickly before anyone noticed might suggest a swift getaway, but without the crucial element of not returning to a familiar and scrutinized area, it does not encapsulate the reason for his successful evasion of arrest effectively.
