Answer:

She believes Maggie is simple and ignorant.

Explanation:

<em>Everyday Use</em> is a short story written by Alice Walker. It's written from the point of view of an African-American mother (Mrs. Johnson), who lives in the Deep South with her shy younger daughter, Maggie. It tells about differences between Mrs. Johnson and Maggie, who follow the traditional black culture in the rural South, and her educated daughter Dee, who has embraced cultural nationalism.

Dee chose a new, African name, <em>Wangero, </em>and has begun wearing more African clothing. She wants to take hand-made objects, such as the quilts mentioned in the given excerpt, that were used in their family for generations. Unlike Maggie, who would use them practically, she would simply display them as artifacts, as pieces of art. She thinks that Maggie is <em>backward </em>for wanting to use them. It's not that she is jealous that Maggie will get the quilts, but she sees her as inferior, backward, simple, and ignorant. She sees herself as superior to both her and their mother.

This is why the second option is the correct one.

Its validity is questionable since the speaker benefits from people believing it.

As the CEO, if the business does well, the CEO does well. While the CEO likely does have a strong background in business, that doesn't automatically make his words completely valid. You must take into account the bias and incentive he has to make his employees work harder so he doesn't have to.
