In "Broken Chain," Alfonso is motivated to do fifty sit-ups a day because he wants:

C. The guys to think he is tough.

Explanation:

Broken Chain by Gary Soto is a book that tells us that the appearance is different from reality and true beauty is always present in inside but not the outside But outward appearances are more important to people. Alfonso is a thirteen year boy and is motivated to do fifty sits-ups a day because he wants the other guy think he is tough. The other options like A is not correct because doing sits-up was not the motive for him to go on date with Sandra as well he didn't want to better than Ernie in some way. He also not wanted to be able to balance Sandra on his bike rather he just wanted to make other guys believe that he is a tough guy.
