Answer the question in the pic

• a

• b

• c

• d

Answer explanation

The correct answer is choice (B) Which themes is Hurston best known for exploring in her work? This research question would expand upon the information in the final sentence of the paragraph to describe the “thematic importance of her literary contributions.” Choice (A) is incorrect because its scope is too narrow to address the research question. Choices (C) and (D) are incorrect because they do not relate closely enough to Hurston, who is clearly the topic of the student’s essay.

Circle one statement from the first column that describes an inference that can be made about Mrs. Wheeler from details in the excerpt. Then circle one statement in the second column that supports the inference you chose in the first column

Answer explanation

In the first column, “Mrs. Wheeler is resistant to change.” is the correct response because the events and dialogue throughout the passage support this inference. Mrs. Wheeler steadfastly clings to her outdated ways of doing things even though Ralph has introduced her to equipment that would most likely save her time and energy. In the second column, “We’re old fashioned, and I don’t know but you’d better let us be.” is the correct response. This piece of dialogue provides the best support for the inference because it shows how loyal Mrs. Wheeler is to her own methods of completing farm chores.
