Question

Which statement best explains how Lizabeth develops the theme in "Marigolds" that beauty can be appreciated even in the worst circumstances?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lizabeth remembers the poverty of her childhood hometown but also the marigolds in Miss Lottie's yard.

Explanation:

The short story "Marigolds" by Eugenia Collier is a story of a little girl's childhood experience. In the story, Lizabeth talks of how her community is impoverished, "—the brown, crumbly dust of late summer—arid, sterile dust that gets  into the eyes and makes them water, gets into the throat and between the  toes of bare brown feet". But despite the background image of poverty all around her, she could also remember "a brilliant splash of sunny  yellow against the dust—Miss Lottie’s marigolds". Through her remembering of the marigolds amidst the poverty of her childhood hometown, Lizabeth develops the theme of beauty appreciated even in the worse circumstances.
