Question

Read this excerpt from We’ve Got a Job.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is her compassion.

Explanation:

This excerpt shows Mrs. Hendrick's compassion for the situation in which poor black families live.

That is why she takes the initiative to ask white families for donations in order to make black people have a better Christmas.

The book We've Got a Job was written by Cynthia Levinson and tells the story of 4 children who were part of about 4000 who were part of a march against racist attitudes and are set in the era of the struggle for civil rights.

Answer 2

The correct answer is “her compassion”. This is defined as kind pity and concern for the sorrows or misfortunes of others. In this excerpt we can notice how Mrs. Hendricks cares about others instead of prioritizing herself by asking people to donate clothes and toys for humble, people in need, while she didn’t even buy new things for her family.
