English
1 answer:
qwelly [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

"Everyday Use" is a short story written by Alice Walker. The story is told from the point view of 'Mama', mother of two very differnt daughters.

As the story begins, Mama begins to recall about the relationship and difference between her two daughters, Dee and Maggie. Maggie and Mama live together and are seen waiting for the arrival of her elder daughter, Dee.

Dee wanted to live outside her ancestry and wanted to pursue higher education. She was bitter towards the poor conditions of her family. Mama recalls that how Dee became descending towards her mother and sister as she became educated.

<u>Mama, in the story, observes how different are the views of Dee and Maggie towards the family heritage and history. For Dee, the ancestoral possessions are mere artifacts that she gathers from her family, but for Maggie, she knows the value of those possessions. And, at the end, we also come to know that Maggie was the one who gets the ancestoral shawl, and not Dee, for she despised it.</u>

So, the correct answer is option D.

How does the author make it clear that Dr. Benjamin Rush was a dedicated<br> physician?
n200080 [17]

Answer: here's my answer

Explanation: During the spring of 1813, former presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were united in grief at the death of a mutual friend who had recently persuaded them to forget their bitter rivalries. Like the two celebrated statesmen, the eminent physician and social reformer Benjamin Rush had been a Founding Father, one of 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

But Adams and Jefferson believed that Rush deserved to be remembered for much more than his conspicuous enthusiasm for the cause of American liberty. Jefferson wrote that “a better man, than Rush, could not have left us,” extolling his benevolence, learning, genius and honesty. Adams replied with equal praise: He knew of no one, “living or dead,” who had “done more real good in America.” Writing to Rush’s son, Richard, Adams maintained that as a “benefactor” to his country, the doctor deserved greater recognition than even the celebrated polymath Benjamin Franklin.
