Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

'Thank You, Ma'am' is a short story written by Langston Hughes. The story centers around the theme of compassion.

The story is about a boy named Roger who tries to steal from a lady named Mrs. Jones, who in turn treats the boy with compassion.

In the story, the statement that best demonstrates Roger's decision to obey Mrs. Jones is in option D. In this statement, Roger has a chance to run away from Mrs. Jones house but rather he chose to obey her and went to the sink to wash his face, as commanded by Mrs. Jones.

Thus the correct option is D.
