Answer:

A). She does not want to be connected to the past.

Explanation:

Alice Walker's one of the most acknowledged short stories of her that intends to reflect the significance and timelessness of heritage that is associated with even the 'everyday objects'.

As per the question, Dee rejects her cultural identity as 'she didn't wish to remain connected to the past' as she's got educated now but her education has proved to be 'divisive'. She is now a changed Dee who thinks the 'quilt' is old-fashioned and thus, wanted them to display(as she has no desire to remain attached to her past or heritage) while her mama and Maggie forbids her to do this as they have kind of kinship or bond with those 'quilts'(symbolic of their heritage). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Lennie Smalls is dull-witted and clumsy with his strength. He often appears to irritate or frighten other characters (he frustrates George, his companion and guardian, while he frightens Curley). These interactions reveal his slow-nature, naive mindset, and undetermined strength, which ultimately leads to his demise. 

You can find examples of these traits by going to the passages about Lennie's handling of small animals (Chapter 1 and likely the last chapter when he accidentally kills the pup/Curley's wife)
