Answer: D) Instead of giving in to death, people should fight against it.

Explanation: In the given excerpt we can see that the speaker is encouraging people to don't giving in to death ("Do not go gentle into that good night"), instead the speaker claims that people should fight really hard against death ("Old age should burn and rave at close of day;  Rage, rage against the dying of the light"), so the statement that best describes the main idea of the excerpt is the corresponding to option D.

Who fed junior his bottles when he was a baby in salvage the bones​
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

As the storm calms itself, the family cowers in the torn-open attic of Papa Joseph and Mama Lizbeth’s house. Skeetah is wracked with guilt over losing track of China and promises to look for her once the water level lowers to halfway up the tires on Daddy’s tractor. Esch comforts him by squeezing him as hard as she has embraced the boys she’s had sex with, trying to keep him in one piece. She notices the entire family is bloodied from the broken glass and debris flying about.

Once the water level is low enough, Skeetah jumps in and begins to look for China, convinced she’s waiting for him. Esch watches him until he disappears behind a fallen tree.

Later, the family follows suit and revisits their house, searching for food like they had searched for eggs in the yard days earlier. They find canned peas and packages of ramen. Randall decides the family will stay with Big Henry, and they head towards town.

The houses of Bois Sauvage are in varying states of destruction, and the townspeople gather in the street, each one muttering something about being alive. Big Henry’s house has miraculously been spared, the trees having fallen in a fence around the building. Marquise and Big Henry greet Esch and her family; they were just about to come looking for them. Big Henry plays with a machete they were bringing in case they had to “cut through” to find them (242).

Suddenly, Esch spots Manny, who sits in the bed of a pickup truck with Shaliyah. Randall asks Esch if Manny is the father of her child, and she nods. Randall promises to beat up Manny, but Esch replies that she already did. Randall and Junior, who rides piggyback on Randall, comfort Esch as they take shelter in Big Henry’s house.

Big Henry’s mother, Ms. Bernadine, tends to Daddy’s hand. Marquise takes his dog to look for Skeetah, who refuses to leave the Pit with him. That night, the family—minus Skeetah—sleeps soundly.

In the morning, Esch is eavesdropping on Big Henry’s uncle, Solly, who tells Ms. Bernadine about the terrible damage near the bayou, when Daddy asks Esch if she’s really pregnant. She nods. Daddy apologizes for pushing her and says they’ll have to see a doctor to make sure the baby is healthy. Esch daydreams about the past and the future, envisioning her mother on the couch aside Daddy and picturing Junior feeding the baby. She decides to name the baby after her mother if it is a girl, and after Skeetah if it is a boy.

Big Henry invites the kids to drive with him to St. Catherine to inspect the damage. When they arrive, they can barely comprehend the scene. Hardly any trees or buildings stand; the elementary school where Randall played basketball and Skeetah fought Rico is leveled. People take shelter under makeshift tents and forage for food and supplies in the wreckage. A toothy woman warns them not to drive any further towards the beach, and then she asks them for food. Esch gives her some ramen, and the woman laughs.

The kids pull over, park, and begin walking. Esch sees a man holding his head and perhaps crying. He is sitting on a sofa next to a black casket, which a dog sniffs at and even urinates on. Still walking, the kids find what remains of the liquor store and happen upon some untouched liquor bottles, which they take for Daddy.

Big Henry squats next to Esch and tells her he heard her talking to Daddy about being pregnant. He asks her who the father is, to which she replies, “It don’t have a daddy” (254). He says she’s wrong, because the baby has many fathers, including him. He reassures her that she can rely on him. This touches Esch, who is gathering pieces of glass that will serve as souvenirs when she tells her baby about Hurricane Katrina. She imagines hanging them above her bed and telling the baby a mythologized story about the storm, a mother who slaughtered and destroyed the Gulf.

After bathing with a glass of water each and eating for the first time since the storm, Esch, Randall, Junior, and Big Henry return to the Pit to see Skeetah. He has built a fire that burns tall and is still waiting for China. He refuses to leave in case she returns, despite the others’ protests.

Esch knows that she and her siblings will stay by his side, waiting for China. She knows that China will return, and she pictures Skeetah crying when she comes, melting away to nothing. Esch knows that China will see her and understand that she has fought and protected—that she herself is a mother now.
