Question

\the jacket\ when maya opened the closet, her old blue jacket was still there, sleeves patched from years of wear. she ran her hand down the zipper, remembering walking home in the rain, slipping notes into its deep pockets, and hugging her mother while wearing it. it no longer fit, but she folded it neatly and placed it back. which theme is best supported by this excerpt? change is necessary to grow. sentimental items can carry emotional meaning. people should donate old clothing. rainy days are the best for reflection.

Explanation:

El texto muestra que la chaqueta azul de Maya, a pesar de no caberle más, la mantiene porque evoca recuerdos emocionales (caminar en la lluvia, guardar notas, abrazar a su madre). Esto demuestra que los objetos sentimentales (la chaqueta) llevan un significado emocional.

Answer:

Sentimental items can carry emotional meaning.
