This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Through Janie's dialogue in this excerpt, it is reasonable to infer that she is
:
a. secretly flattered by Mrs. Turner's suggestion.
b. questioning her relationship with Mrs. turner.
c. devoted to Tea Cake and unaffected by Mrs. turner's opinions.
d. angry at Tea Cake for secretly listening in on her conversation.
Answer:
We can reasonably infer that Janie is:
c. devoted to Tea Cake and unaffected by Mrs. turner's opinions.
Explanation:
Janie and Tea Cake are characters in Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God". The main character is an African-American woman named Janie, whose life has been defined by her race and gender.
Janie is very clear that Mrs. Turner is barking up the wrong tree. After two marriages, Janie finally met Tea Cake, her third husband. Although readers may easily see this marriage as being far from perfect, it is indeed what Janie always dreamed of. She is loyal to Tea Cake, and has not intention of leaving him for another man. Mrs. Turner's opinions have no effect over Janie.
A synonym would be belief or maybe teaching
Compassionate and merciful.
shrewd and cunning is ruled out
responsibility is not needed in this act of kindness
the text does not show the widow doing anything kind
The answer is C) He had just bought her a gift for her hair. He had just bought her a really nice set of combs for her hair, then he comes home and finds out she cut it. He is very shocked.
This sounds like this is a multiple choice kind of problem, but you didn't provide any possible answers.
I'll take a wild stab and assume this type of project, from the description, is Collaborative Fiction, or Anthology.
~Hope this helps!
