Answer 1

In Alice Walker's "Everyday use" the definition of the word everyday in the title and in the text is both: Ordinary, normal; Day after day, each day.

Answer 2

Answer:

Both definitions.

Explanation:

In the story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker, the title and the word "everyday" refer to the quilts that the two sisters argue over. The word indicates the fact that Maggie wants the quilts for "everyday use." This can convey two meanings. First, it can refer to the fact that such items are common or ordinary, and thus should not be treated as luxury items. It can also convey the idea that the quilts are used on an everyday basis, which would resemble the definition of "day after day."
