The correct answer is C) Mexican centavos, tostones, and pesos were good for nothing in the US.
The sentence that supports a negative connotation for the word remarkable is "Mexican centavos, tostones, and pesos were good for nothing in the US."
In Ernesto Galarza book "Barrio Boy," the author refers to the journey of a Mexican boy that lived in a small, poor town in Mexico, to the city of Sacramento, California. When José explained a remarkable thing about our money he referred to the Mexican currency called pesos. Of course, Mexican pesos are not valid as a currency in the United States. He also referred to Mexican Centavos(cents) and tostones(fifty cents coins).
