For Laurie, baking cookies was a common thing, designed to bring a little happiness on random days. However, after meeting Maurice, cooking cookies and became a way to show care and affection among people.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question is about the book "An Invisible Thread." When we read this book, we have access to the following information:

  • The book tells the story of how Laurie and Maurice met and ended up impacting each other's lives.
  • Maurice was a boy who lived in a violent and dangerous place.
  • His mother was involved in drug trafficking and he and his brother lived without any form of adult supervision.
  • Furthermore, they had no money, were very hungry, and had no prospects for life.
  • Laurie was a woman who had an ordinary life, with nothing very significant.
  • However, Laurie had a stable life and had better economic and social opportunities than Mauricie.
  • One day they met and Laurie decided to help Maurice overcome the difficulties in his life.
  • Maurice taught Laurie several lessons about life, caring for people, and happiness.

Maurice gave a new meaning to many things in Laurie's life, such as baking cookies, which for her was just something silly, that although it brought happiness, it was nothing special, but Maurice showed how baking cookies is affectionate and bonding between people.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Imperialist ideals are reflected heavily in this answer. The paragraph acknowledges the tragedy of the negatives effects imperialism brought the native Americans. Yet, right after, it gives a reason as to why it wasn't that bad for both sides. Someone with Imperialist views would most likely write this paragraph to push the blame away from them a little.
