The correct answer to the question: To draw a conclusion about Maritza´s character based on this excerpt, what is the best question for the reader to ask?, would be: What does she do?

Explanation:

This is because Maritza, a person, most likely a student, or maybe a teacher, makes a pretty bold statement about who should be recognized for their achievements, talking almost with propriety, as if she herself were an authority on the matter being discussed. She speaks so self-assuredly, and with so much power, that a reader could not help but want to know about what she does, to understand how she can make such a bold statement and thus comprehend who Maritza is.
