Eighth grader Castle “Ghost” Cranshaw, the title character of Jason Reynolds’ new middle grade novel GHOST, is fast. As an African-American teenager growing up in the projects with a single mother who works around the clock, his ability to run has come in handy in getting him out of some bad situations --- especially the time he had to run for his life when his father tried to shoot him and his mother in a drunken rage. He never thought his natural speed would be of any other use to him until he saw a track and field team practicing on a local track and couldn’t help but think he could outrun everybody he saw out there. Ghost crashes their practice and proves he can run neck and neck with their fastest guys, and their coach does everything he can to recruit Ghost to the team.

There is more about the book that I don't remember. Sorry.

Read the following excerpt from "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker: "The truth is," I said, "I promised to give them quilts to Maggi
LenKa [72]

Answer:

A.  People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.

Explanation:

Alice Walker's <em>Everyday Use</em> revolves around the lives of the three women, mother-daughters, and their perception about what constitutes heritage, tradition, culture, and one's identity. Mama and Maggie may life in a dilapidated house but their sense of identity to their roots remains unbroken whereas the 'better educated' daughter Dee "Wangero" is more of a 'westernized' approach to her identity.

In the given passage, Dee hates the fact that her desired quilts were given to her sister Maggie who will only<em> "put them to everyday use" </em>whereas her own plan was to put them up like some souvenir and put in on display and not use it. The narrator Mama recollects the time when she had offered those same quilts to her when she first went to college but she had called them <em>"old-fashioned, out of style"</em> and refused to take them. And now that she's had a place of her own, she wanted to 'show-off' her heritage and tradition and use it as a way to 'decorate' her house. So, <u><em>judging by the way the author decided to portray the characters to their relationship with the quilt, the book's title </em></u><u><em>Everyday Use</em></u><u><em> seemed likely to signify how people connect and feel connected with their culture through the frequent revisiting of past traditions. </em></u>

Thus, the<u> correct answer is option A. </u>
