Read the excerpt from "Broken Chain." He [Alfonso] turned his bike over, balancing it on the handlebars and seat, and flossed the spokes with the sock. When he was finished, he pressed a knuckle to his teeth until they tingled. Why does Soto most likely describe Alfonso’s attention to his bike and his teeth at the same time? to emphasize that Alfonso expects everything to be perfect to reveal that Alfonso is too focused on unimportant things to illustrate how much Alfonso cares about outward appearances to show that Alfonso often puts himself in uncomfortable situations

to illustrate how much Alfonso cares about outward appearances

Explanation:

Soto most likely described Alfonso's attention to his bike and his teeth at the same time to show that he cared too much about outward appearances.

From the excerpt, Alfonso is described as balancing his bike on the handlebars and seat and cleaning the spokes with a sock and at the same time, he pressed a knuckle to his teeth until it tingled which shows that he cared about the appearance of his bike and teeth. Alfonso shows great attention to detail in both cases because he likely cares about his outward appearance.
