Answer:

Nanny Crawford is specking these words to her granddaughter Janie mae Crawford.

The daughter referred to in the speech is Leafy Crawford, Janie's mother and Nanny's daughter.

Explanation:

The excerpt is from Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God". This book revolves round the theme of the discriminatory lives of the blacks among the white folks.

The passage is from the second chapter of the book where Janie's grandmother had told her about her choice of husband for her granddaughter. She told her of her slavery birth, her upbringing n the plantations and how it was tough for a girl to be a slave. And that is why she had wanted her to marry Logan Killicks who may be a much older guy but have the means to provide security and social standing for Janie.

Nanny or Grandma Crawford is talking to Janie about the prospect of marrying Killicks.

"Mah daughter" in the speech refers to Nanny's daughter Leafy Crawford, Janie's mother.

6a. What made Dave Withrow uniquely qualified to join Operation
Len [333]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, however, after searching for it on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly the same as yours that presented the text "NOAA’s Big Miracle Worker" as the text in question. If this is your case I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer and Explanation:

The text is an interview with Dave Withrow about the operation that allowed the rescue of three gray whales that were trapped in Barrow, Alaska in 1988. Withrow shows that he was the qualified professional to work in this operation because he had experience working with marine manifers, such as whales, because when he worked at NOAA at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, his department was responsible for taking care of any matter related to whales. This can be seen in the first paragraph of the text, in the lines: “... anything whale-related, especially on the West Coast, comes  through our office.”
