Answer:

1. A malfetto is one who is seen as an abomination and one who brings bad name to the family.

2. Adelina was labeled a malfetto because her contracting the blood fever that swept her nation made her look like she was ruining the family's good name.

3. This impacted negatively on her because her father became cruel towards her and she was seen as a misfortune in the family.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Young Elites is a novel by Marie Lu, an American young adult author. The story relates the outbreak of a deadly disease in Adelina's nation which she and many others contracted and finally survived it. It's known that such survivors possess some special gifts.
