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.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will give brainliest!!!!!!!!!!!!What additional info does the sidebar provide?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

The sidebar tells us what Earth scientists are actually doing about the risk of an asteroid impact.

Explanation:

The main part of the page discusses how frequently the moon is hit by rocks;  how most rocks are too small to make it past Earth's atmosphere; how the rocks that do make it all the way to Earth's surface are usually pretty small and don't hit anything important; how screwed we would be if a massive rock – like an asteroid – made it to Earth's surface.

The sidebar says that scientists are understandably worried enough about these asteroids – they "feel the danger is to great to ignore" – so they're keeping a lookout for asteroids that might be on a collision course with Earth.
