c. yoyo is saddened by her father’s disapproval of the message in her speech for the assembly.

In the passage, Yoyo is "weeping wildly", and she believes "all hope was lost". She is picking up scraps of paper that contain her speech hoping to be able to piece them back together. Because of this desperation to fix the papers and be able to read them, it can be inferred that she didn't actually tear up the speech. She also says, "he broke it, he broke it." Given the answer choices, it is assumed here that her father is the one who tore up the speech because of his disapproval. It does not mention anywhere her inability to write a good speech, insulting content, or anything that could awaken memories of a dictatorship.
