Question 4 options: Her crisp meat pies and cool lemonade, when joined to her miraculous ability to be in two places at one time, assured her business success. Momma hadn’t thought that taking off my dress in front of Mrs. Flowers would kill me stone dead. Before she had quite arisen, she called our names and issued orders. “That’s a very good job, Mrs. Henderson. You should be proud. You can put your dress back on, Marguerite.”

Answer 1

Answer: Her crisp meat pies and cool lemonade, when joined to her miraculous ability to be in two places at one time, assured her business success.

Explanation:

The book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is an autobiography of Maya Angelou where she talks about her childhood experiences. Momma is Maya's grandmother and her guardian for most of her childhood.

Even though she was strict, she loved Maya dearly and Maya was proud of her grandmother. One instance of this is where she speaks in exultant tones of her grandmother's business success in selling lunches which was made possible by her being able to make delicious pastry as well as her ability to serve many customers by seemingly being in two places at once.
