ralls during the day. I can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man. My fat keeps me hot in zero weather. I can work outside all day, breaking ice to get water for washing. I can eat pork liver cooked over the open fire minutes after it comes steaming from the hog. One winter I knocked a bull calf straight in the brain between the eyes with a sledge hammer and had the meat hung up to chill before nightfall.

Answer:

b. direct based on the narrator’s description

In the excerpt from Alice Walker's "Everyday Use," which is written in the first-person point of view, Mama provides a physical depiction of herself, in which she outlines her large body and strength, capable of hunting a bull calf.
