Question

part b
which sentence from the passage best supports the answer to part a?
a \the people she met in france cared intensely about food, about how it was
bought and sold and prepared and served at the table.\ (paragraph 2)
b \alice fit in well at berkeley; there was nothing ordinary about her.\
(paragraph 2)
c \her family didnt have a lot of money, so they didnt go to restaurants
frequently.\ (paragraph 1)
d \she was picky but still enjoyed eating certain junk foods every now and then,
potato chips, orange soda, jelly doughnuts, chili cheeseburgers.\ (paragraph 1)

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the answer to Part A (likely about Alice's fit or food - related interest). Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: Talks about French people's intense care for food (buying, selling, preparing, serving). If Part A was about Alice's connection to food culture (maybe in France), this supports it.
• Option B: Only says Alice fit in at Berkeley and she's not ordinary. Doesn't relate to food or a context that would support a food - related Part A answer.
• Option C: Discusses her family's financial situation and infrequent restaurant visits. Not relevant to a broader theme that would support a typical Part A answer (like her food - related experiences in France or her uniqueness in a food - related way).
• Option D: Lists her junk food preferences. Less likely to support a more substantial Part A answer (like cultural fit or food - related growth) compared to Option A.

Answer:

A. "The people she met in France cared intensely about food, about how it was bought and sold and prepared and served at the table." (paragraph 2)
