Answer:

C. Unmarried girls should devote themselves to painstakingly caring for their parents and demonstrating great respect for them.

Explanation:

Zhao Ban's poem "On Reverence for Parents" is an extensive expression of how unmarried women must take care of their parents. The poem 'lists' the ways unmarried girls must take care of their parents to be honorable to their ancestors.

In the poem, the speaker begins by saying <em>"Girls not yet gone out from their homes"</em> should take good care to be of servitude to their parents. She details how they must be of 'use' to their parents and help them navigate their lives. This, according to the speaker, is how <em>"[they] can honor [their] ancestors." </em>

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Why is it that I took my ancestry DNA test it says im 86.2% Greek and balkan and 91.7% Southern Euro but people don't believe I
defon

Answer:

Um, you might be both Greek, Balkan and Southern but you might want to retake your DNA test because those percentages are incorrect. And for your green eyes, green eyes can be GG, or Gb, while blue eyes are bb. Brown is dominant over the green, so if you have a B version of gene 1 and a G version of gene 2, you will have brown eyes. Meaning your parent's genes were mostly likely GG and Gb or GG and BG. Lastly, your skin color doesn't say much about your race and ethnicity. For example, both I and my sister are mixed ( black and white) yet we look completely different. She has wavy hair, olive skin, smaller lips, and her build is different while I have very curly hair, white skin, bigger lips, and a lot curvier. Inclusion your looks have a lot more to do with your parents mixed genetics than ethnicity.
