<h2>
FYI:</h2>
I believe the excerpt is this:
When I was sold to the Li family, my mother let Mrs. Li take me only after she'd promised that I would be taught to read. "Her mother had fourteen other children starving and clinging to her, yet she was still insisting that I promise." Mrs. Li sniffed and began a high-pitched imitation. "'Promise me that when she's six, you'll have her taught to read! On your ancestors' grave! Promise!'"
Answer: ACCORDING TO THE EXCERPT ABOVE
B. It foreshadows that learning to read will be important to later events in the story.
IF that was the right excerpt, and I answered correctly, and I could help, Please mark me brainliest.
Thanks!
