The correct answer is C. Concerning with appearances.

In this play by Alice Childress, the action takes place in a picnic of the neighbourhood block association. The appearance of Joe, a poor, homeless character disrupts the scene, and when a wallet dissapears, suspiction falls on him and they begin to harass Joe.

Even though the play deals with middle-class Blacks accusing a working class Black, the sentence in this case deals with keeping the appearances and respectability associated with middle-class expectations. In the context of these sentence, some of the characters, especially L. V. Craig are already harassin Joe, judging that because he is poor he must have stolen something. Maydelle is the character that keeps saying that kindness goes a long way and trying to de-escalate the situation. Even if they are misjudging Joe and picking on him, with this sentence she is more worried of Doctor MacDonald or the children hearing them loose their temper than with stopping the situation with Joe.

2. Both Witness to the Tragedy" and "Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing' provide first person
Snowcat [4.5K]

Both "Witness to the Tragedy" and "Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing" portray the scenario that took place in cities affected by the violence of Hurricane Catrina. However, in "Witness to the Tragedy" we are presented with a more personal account. The article written in first person shows the destruction and sadness of families to survive during the violent flood that was established in the region. First-person language makes the story personal and exciting.

"Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing", however, reports the search for people who were not rescued at the time of the tragedy, have been lost to their families and are being sought, alive or dead. Although this article has a less personal and emotional tone than the first, the article uses a first-person language that manages to bring the reader closer to the author and provide a strong empathy for the exposed theme.

pogonyaev
It would be the girls’ dogs since there are multiple owners of the dogs. You keep the girls plural and use the apostrophe at the end to make it girls’ since it is both plural and possessive.
