After reading the paragraph by Scaachi Koul, we can say that the word "divert" most nearly means:

B. Shift.

<h3>In what context is "divert" used?</h3>
  • Koul is talking about how her Indian mother never teaches her recipes properly. Even when the author is watching her cook, her mother does something to "divert her attention."
  • What "divert" means in that context is to shift. The author's mother does something to shift the author's attention, so that she will not learn the complete recipe.
  • Koul ends the paragraph saying that Indian mothers hoard their recipes and that, even when they do teach them, they use measurements that are their own.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option.

Which is found in "On the Bus with Rosa Parks" but not in My Story?
Oksanka [162]

I believe the answer is: praise for Rosa Parks's act

The book mentioned how Rosa Park dare to speak up against injustice during racial segregation by sitting on the seat which is meant for white passengers.

Her actions obtained a lot of praise due to her courage in addressing discrimination, and this lead to a bigger activisms to eliminate racial segregation.

Answer:

We do all of this?

Explanation:

"Ms. Adams, I am writing this letter to you after reading your essay, “On the Equality of the Sexes” to share my opinions with you. This is not a letter to condemn you of your views, but to much rather to have a civil conversation with you. As I mentioned in my article for the Pennsylvania Gazette, where I listed the “Rules and Maxims for Promoting Matrimonial Happiness”, I do believe that women are very capable and willing to accept advice and practice it. You shared a similar view that women are capable of critical thinking by having intellectual thoughts. I do agree with this view, but I must disagree with your later statements regarding women’s education. A woman mustn't prioritize other things over her role in the household.
