Question

part b
which of the following details best supports the central or main idea in part a?
○ “...she had always been an outspoken child; family members said she took after her uncle vernon...”
○ “the family didn’t mean that as much of a compliment, but barbara, who idolized her uncle, took it as one anyway.”
○ “not much loved by the affluent black members of his church, he was destined to have a powerful influence...”
○ “he was beyond the intellectual scope of everyone around the county...”

Explanation:

To determine the best supporting detail, we analyze each option. However, since Part A's main idea is not provided, we assume the context relates to a person's traits or influence. The first option describes a child's outspoken nature and family resemblance, which likely supports a main idea about her personality or family influence. The other options focus on different characters (uncle's influence, church members' view, intellectual scope) and are less likely to support a main idea about the child (Barbara). So the first option is the best fit.

Answer:

A. "...she had always been an outspoken child; family members said she took after her uncle Vernon..."
