English

1 answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

1) It is trustworthy

If a source is reliable, it means that it does not contain false information, and that if there are opinions in the piece, they are clearly indicated to be opinions rather than disguising opinions as facts.

2) A survey of eight professional athletic organizations

When it comes to an opinion versus a survey, a survey typically collects more diverse and therefore more reliable info. Basketball players and baseball coaches are surely great at their respective sports, but they are not professional, and neither are the physed teachers.

3) A story about a teenager (...)

All of the other choices are studies, surveys, and interviews with professionals, so this single answer choice not including any research is a red flag.

4) It is trying to sell a product

Let's say a snack company is trying to sell their very sugary cookies. They might create an article claiming that these unhealthy snacks are 'good for athletes' and help their performance. These supposed facts cannot be backed up by anyone, nor are they even true! Therefore, any article with a goal to sell a product should not be trusted as unbiased.

Read the following excerpt from "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker: "The truth is," I said, "I promised to give them quilts to Maggi

LenKa [72]

Answer:

A. People connect with their culture by continually revisiting past traditions.

Explanation:

Alice Walker's Everyday Use revolves around the lives of the three women, mother-daughters, and their perception about what constitutes heritage, tradition, culture, and one's identity. Mama and Maggie may life in a dilapidated house but their sense of identity to their roots remains unbroken whereas the 'better educated' daughter Dee "Wangero" is more of a 'westernized' approach to her identity.

In the given passage, Dee hates the fact that her desired quilts were given to her sister Maggie who will only "put them to everyday use" whereas her own plan was to put them up like some souvenir and put in on display and not use it. The narrator Mama recollects the time when she had offered those same quilts to her when she first went to college but she had called them "old-fashioned, out of style" and refused to take them. And now that she's had a place of her own, she wanted to 'show-off' her heritage and tradition and use it as a way to 'decorate' her house. So, judging by the way the author decided to portray the characters to their relationship with the quilt, the book's title Everyday Use seemed likely to signify how people connect and feel connected with their culture through the frequent revisiting of past traditions.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
