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 4-5 sentences explaining how your appearance affects the trajectory of your life. Please help me I only need 57
k0ka [10]

Answer: The way others physically perceive you and how you look can affect the path of your life.

Explanation:

Society placed beauty standards that are sometimes unrealistic, therefore people could negatively judge you based on how your physical features. Say, if a lady who's considered obese wanted to pursue a dream of modeling. This lady has a lower chance of being accepted into a modeling company due to her weight. Someone considered "unattractive" has slightly lower chances of being chosen for certain jobs based on the potential employer's biases.

(Please re-write this in your own words if you didn't plan on doing so already and I hope this helped and answered your question)

What is Sojourner Truth's attitude toward the Bible? End of exam A. She depends on professional theologians to make sense of it
Artemon [7]
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>C. She accepts as true only what's true in her own experience. She is very pious, and the name she chose for herself confirms that. She does believe the Bible, but she won't let white men interpret it to their advantage and manipulate the underprivileged (such as blacks, and women, and especially black women) by telling them it's God's will that they are less worthy. "</span><span>Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him." </span>She claims the right to be a part of God's plan, as a woman. Even though she doesn't explicitly say it in her short speech, she implies that Bible couldn't possibly be true if it excluded Eve and her female descendants - as well as her black ones.
