I'm sorry I can't give a more specific answer, since I don't understand the story, but if the guy who asked where she was going is the antagonist of the story, then if the girl need to get past the antagonist, then she could find the marker that was "lost".
I may be too late.
I have never had this assignment so I may not understand that well.
Have a good day and week!
In the context of this essay, it would be "<span>4. Tan's mother does not speak standard English, but she is able to convey the ideas behind her words" that</span> best describes the meaning of this statement.
The correct answer is "It uses a specific example as evidence".
Literary evidence is <u>all information used to support a specific statement</u>. In the line given, we don't know exactly what assertion it is supporting. However, <u>we can deduce from the introducing phrase "One of the worst case" that it is presenting a testimonial example to strengthen a bigger theme, using it as evidence</u>. This makes the first option more fitting than the rest.
Hope this helps!
