The statement suggests that the Samoan culture values contributions to the collective community more than American culture does. Thus, it is likely that Iolani, the Samoan child, will place a greater emphasis on her connection and contribution to her community when evaluating her sense of self. On the other hand, Mary, the American child, is more likely to evaluate her self in terms of individual competencies as this is valued more in American culture. Therefore, B (Mary is more likely to evaluate her "self" in terms of individual competencies) is the best answer.
