This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read this excerpt from We've Got a Job: The 1963 Children's March.
One child in the neighborhood owned a bicycle. Wash and his sister had a wagon. For Christmas one year, they each received a pair of iron roller skates. When those wore out, Wash said, "we would take an old broom and turn it upside down, and that would be our horse. And we would get a coat hanger and make a cowboy gun."
How does this excerpt help readers make a personal connection to the story?
A. by offering facts about urban neighborhoods
B. by offering details about how Wash learned to roller skate
C. by offering information about Wash's toys
D. by offering information about youth violence
Answer:
The excerpt helps readers make a personal connection to the story:
C. by offering information about Wash's toys
Explanation:
The excerpt we are analyzing here offers details about Wash's infancy, more specifically about his toys and games. Commonly, information like this allows readers to form a personal connection with the character (in this case, a non-fictional one). Readers are reminded of their own experiences growing up, even if they were not exactly the same. People in general can relate to having to use their imagination as children to transform simple objects into toys, or to wanting to have toys but not being able to afford them.
