Answer:

Among the options given on the question the correct answer is option C.

The reference to “pennies” reveals the historical context of the story.

Explanation: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a novel by Betty Smith which was published in 1943 during the world war II. The story was based on an impoverished but aspirational girl and her family in the Williamsburg,Brooklyn. However in the excerpt the reference to pennies reveals the historical context of the story. Because the penny remarks the time of the incident based on the story. Referencing to the penny readers can imagine the time and place of the story.

Other options in the question is not regarding the historical context of the story. They are the settings of the writer's view.

So the pennies refer to the historical context.

Write at least 6 sentences explaining which Roman contribution you think is the most important and why. Explain why it is import
Readme [11.4K]
The Romans unified their country with more than just leadership, for they were the inventors of concrete. Concrete, while a boring topic, was the most useful out of all of Rome’s inventions. Concrete is still used today and is why many ancient Roman buildings are still standing even after centuries of withstanding harsh elements. Rome was not stingy with their inventions, shown by the fact that concrete can be seen being used all around the world. Many countries were more than happy to unite with Rome after seeing their inventions and as a result Rome boosted the rest of the world into the renaissance. Rome may have been known for being cruel and brutal in battle, however we as a society must always be greatful for their inventions as we would not be here today without them.
Also you could talk about how they were the first society to invent democracy, but I didn’t know if you needed inventions or forms of government.
