Answer 2

The correct answer is 4. Dee learns about her heritage from books. Maggie learns about it in her everyday life

Explanation:

"Everyday Use" by Alice Walker tells the story of an African American woman, called Mama and her two daughters (Dee and Magie), who have learned to love their heritage as African American women in two different ways. While Dee is an educated woman that learned to love her heritage after attending school and believes her heritage might be preserved by displaying some of the old objects her mother. Maggie loves her heritages by following the everyday traditions of her family and using the objects and artifacts that represent the past of her family (heritage). Thus, while Dee learned about her heritage from books while she attended school, Maggie learns about it in her everyday life by living in the way her ancestors did.
