I believe it’s A
Because authors write to show a purpose of something. Not for their ego.
A. “. . . a drowsy afternoon in the great rustling oaken silence of the reading room of the Public Library, with the book elevator (like an old water wheel) spewing out books onto the trays.”
I took the quiz and got %100. Hope I help. :)
The answer is D. safe and secure.
Waverly is only six when this short story begins. She lives in Chinatown, in San Francisco, and at such a young age, she sees the world in a simple way. As a first-person narrator she says, for instance, that she didn't think of herself as a poor child because her bowl was always full.
In the excerpt, she seems to wish to convey that comfortable simplicity. The smell of food combined with her father leaving to work and the door being locked evoke a sensation of safety, the belief that everything is and will always be just fine.
mmmm this is a tricky one let me get back to u
