Question

read the excerpt from their eyes were watching god.
janie’s coffee-and-cream complexion and her luxurious hair made mrs. turner forgive her for wearing overalls like the other women who worked in the fields. she didn’t forgive her for marrying a man as black as tea cake, but she felt that she could remedy that.
based on this excerpt, it is reasonable to infer that mrs. turner

• judges others based on their skin color.
• accepts the decisions that other people make.
• believes divorce is easy to attain.
• rejects janie as a friend because of her appearance.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Mrs. Turner forgives Janie for wearing overalls (related to appearance) but doesn't forgive her for marrying a dark - skinned man. This shows she judges based on skin color.
• Option 2: She doesn't accept Janie's marriage decision, so this is wrong.
• Option 3: There's no info about divorce in the excerpt, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: She forgives Janie for her appearance - related action, so she doesn't reject Janie due to appearance.

Answer:

A. judges others based on their skin color.
