The excerpt from Chapter 5 reveals Dede's admiration for Minerva's assertiveness. The excerpt is culled from The Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez.

<h3>Dede and Minerva - The Time of the Butterflies</h3>

The author's depiction of Dede shows her to be practical compliant and gentle. She is the one who gives over her own to make peace amongst those that she loves.

On the other end of the spectrum is Minerva. Minerva is bold, adventurous, strong-willed, and idealistic.

Although Minerva is the courageous one, Dede is the one who ends up dedicating her life to the upbringing of her fallen sister's children, thus keeping their legacy as heroes alive.

The correct answer, thus, is A.

In Chapter 5, the author's portrayal of Dede reveals to the reader <u>A. Dede's admiration</u> of Minerva's assertiveness, as captured by Julia Alvarez in "In the time of the Butterflies".

<h3>In the Time of the Butterflies</h3>

<em>Julia Alvarez's "In the Time of the Butterflies" </em>shows that Dede had a split perspective about Minerva and her other sisters. But when she later grew up, she came to realize that the sisters fought against the injustice hoisted on them and the nation by the Dominican Republic's longtime dictatorship led by Trujillo’s government.

Thus, the author's portrayal of Dede does not reveal to the reader about Dede's surprise at Minerva's behavior, her realization of Minerva's flaws, or her irritation with Minerva's assertiveness but <u>Option A</u>.

Answer:

How onions got there flavor and

Color.       By:victoria purvis

A long time ago there lived a hateful king and queen. One day the king decided to make the national kingdom food onions. He said “they and sweet, healthy, and bright blue.”

When the little onion family heard this they were terrified. The father onion of this family said to his wife and seven daughters “ it will all be ok i’ll go and speak with the king.”

So early the next day his wife packed him food and water and kissed him goodbye as he set off on his long trip. When mr.onion got to the palace he asked to see the king about an important matter. When mr.onion finally got to see the king he said “ please oh, please change the national food I do not wish for me and my family to die.” The king replied by saying “ NO, onions are sweet, healthy, and best of all bright blue.”

Mr onion left sadly and suddenly he remembered the wizard who help those who believed in him. So he went to the wizards large fine wood cabin and said “oh great one me and my family are in trouble do to the king please, oh please help me.” The nice wizard simply said “ I shall help you, but you know the rules you must trust  me.” Mr. onion said “ yes of course great one.” The wizard started to chant and all of a sudden Mr. onion started to feel weird so he looked in the mirror and there he was as white as can be.

The wizard said “ now no one will eat you for you are plain and sour. Mr.Onion said his thanks and started to travel home. By the time he got there the king had changed his mind and the onion family was safe.

As Mr. onion grew older he started to wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t trusted the wizard, what would have happened? He just said to himself  “ you always have to trust one another to be happy.” and in his case safe to.  So the onion family lived happily ever after.
