Question

Read the excerpt from The Mother of America:

Answer 1

Answer:

d. Martha Washington's promotion of democratic values as America's original first lady also proved her worthy of the name "Mother of America." Martha had to figure out how to create an atmosphere that reflected democracy and commanded respect from the rest of the world. Unlike other events, Martha's reception was representative of democracy, as it was open to different groups of people, including men and women. Her role in defining America's first lady was invaluable.

Explanation:

The point of the text refers to the main subject that the text promotes. In the case of the text above, we can see that the main point is the fact that Martha Washington had a very large role as first lady. She should be faithful to democratic values and establish the behavior and responsibilities that future first ladies should assume. The text shows that Martha needed to establish a reputation for respect without abandoning the democratic values of her country, so she worked to promote representative events, with citizens of all classes and genres. In a text, the second reason refers to the result that the actions shown in the text presented. In the case of the text above, Martha Washington's actions took her to the title of "mother of America", in addition to showing that she defined what would be a first lady and that definition was essential for the construction of the USA.

In this case, we can consider option D, as the correct option.
