I think that the author intended <span>D. to give the reader an understanding of life in Missy's rural Kentucky town. 

The author's use of </span><span>phrases like "ugly as a mud stick fence," "pie-faced heavy girl," "for-pay ironing," and "dressed like an eye test." is simply to show how Missy thinks and speaks. She is a girl who is brutal and honest in her opinion and she doesn't mince words. She just tells what she sees as it is.  </span>

5. Ms. Yeziersky became a schoolteacher.

Ms. Yeziersky - subject

became - linking verb (past tense)

a schoolteacher - subject complement (noun phrase)

In all examples, we have an equation:

subject = noun phrase (what?)

               adjective (how?)

               adverbial (when? where? how? etc.)

To define if a subject complement is a noun phrase or an adjective, we always think of the main word:

like a nice man (noun phrase because everything modifies the noun MAN)

uncommonly thrifty (<em>uncommonly</em> modifies <em>thrifty</em> so it is an adjective).
