Question

read the excerpt from \my first march.\ \exactly!\ mama said. \by marching, well be letting the government know that we want those unfair laws to be changed. and while we march were going to chant, and after we chant, well sing some songs. one way or another, were going to make sure the government hears our message.\ based on the excerpt, what is the best reason why the reader would conclude that mama values integrity? she makes sure her child has a chance to travel. she teaches her child that equality is essential. she reinforces the importance of exercise to her child. she exposes her child to music education.

Explanation:

To determine why Mama values integrity, we analyze each option:

• The first option (travel) is irrelevant to integrity.
• The second option: Mama talks about changing unfair laws, which relates to equality. Teaching equality (a moral principle) shows she values integrity (acting with moral principles).
• The third option (exercise) is unrelated to integrity.
• The fourth option (music education) is not about integrity.

So the best reason is the one about teaching equality.

Answer:

B. She teaches her child that equality is essential.
