Answer:

The Red Umbrella is the moving tale of a 14-year-old girl's journey from Cuba to America as part of Operation Pedro Pan—an organized exodus of more than 14,000 unaccompanied children, whose parents sent them away to escape Fidel Castro's revolution.

In 1961, two years after the Communist revolution, Lucía Álvarez still leads a carefree life, dreaming of parties and her first crush. But when the soldiers come to her sleepy Cuban town, everything begins to change. Freedoms are stripped away. Neighbors disappear. Her friends feel like strangers. And her family is being watched.

As the revolution's impact becomes more oppressive, Lucía's parents make the heart-wrenching decision to send her and her little brother to the United States—on their own.

Suddenly plunked down in Nebraska with well-meaning strangers, Lucía struggles to adapt to a new country, a new language, a new way of life. But what of her old life? Will she ever see her home or her parents again? And if she does, will she still be the same girl?

The Red Umbrella is a moving story of country, culture, family, and the true meaning of home.

Read the excerpt from David Crockett: His Life and Adventures by John S. C. Abbott.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The setting in this excerpt reveals:

C. a lack of sophistication.

Explanation:

The excerpt offers details of how rudimentary the table, dishes and cutlery were. There is no sophistication; everything about them is rustic - the materials as well as the way they are made. There is wood, horn, pewter.  There is a table carved with a broad-axe. There are hunting-knives instead of table knives. If something broke easily - and the author says crockery did -, it was discarded. Durability and usefulness were priorities.
