Answer 1

Answer:

D. Appreciate the bridge's beauty​.

Explanation:

The short story "Building Bridges" by Andrea Davis Pinkney tells the story of a young girl and her desire to be an architect. During the short period of the story, the narrator who is the girl herself is waiting for her grandmother, Mama Lil to sign a consent form for one of her school's projects.

The project that she needed consent from her grandma was to work with the renovation project of the Brooklyn Bridge. She personifies the bridge as a "Belle ... "dressed in tiny lights that spanned her limbs." She seemed fascinated by the beauty of the bridge, for she had "drawn Belle in the high-noon light, at sunset, on snowy days, and foggy twilight mornings." Such descriptions of the bridge show her fascination and appreciation of the bridge's beauty.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
