Read the selection and answer the question. Excerpt from "Homeless" by Anna Quindlen (1) People find it curious that those witho

ut homes would rather sleep sitting up on benches or huddled in doorways than go to shelters. (2) Certainly some prefer to do so because they are emotionally ill, because they have been locked in before and they are [darned] if they will be locked in again. (3) Others are afraid of the violence and trouble they may find there. (4) But some seem to want something that is not available in shelters, and they will not compromise, not for a cot, or oatmeal, or a shower with special soap that kills the bugs. (5) "One room," a woman with a baby who was sleeping on her sister's floor, once told me, "painted blue." (6) That was the crux of it; not size of location, but pride of ownership. (7) Painted blue. (8) Sometimes I think we would be better off if we forgot about the broad strokes and concentrated on the details. (9) Here is a woman without a bureau. (10) There is a man with no mirror, no wall to hang it on. (11) They are not homeless. (12) They are people who have no homes. (13) No drawer that holds the spoons. (14) No window to look out upon the world. Which of the following is the main idea of the selection? A Shelters do not help homeless people. B Homelessness is hard for people to understand. C Shelters should allow homeless people to paint the walls. D Homelessness cannot be fixed just by providing physical housing.

The correct answer is D. Homelessness cannot be fixed just by providing physical housing.

Explanation

The fragment of the text "Homeless" by Anna Quindlen refers to the problematic relationship between homeless people and shelters because many of them do not feel comfortable going to these places because sentimentally they are not places that allow them to feel at home. their own home even though there they can have food, a room, and bed to sleep in, a bathroom in which to shower, among other services. This idea is supported by this fragment (5) "One room," a woman with a baby who was sleeping on her sister's floor, once told me, "painted blue." (6) That was the crux of it; not size of location, but pride of ownership. So the correct answer is D. Homelessness cannot be fixed just by providing physical housing.

why did charlotte perkins gilman use first-person narration in her short story " The Yellow wallpaper
DIA [1.3K]
As with any author's decision to use 1st person, her intention most likely -- in this story -- was to get her readers to go along for the ride into madness and cultivate a certain amount of sympathy for the narrator and her plight. The constant use of "I" puts readers in the narrator’s head and allows them to empathize with her.
