Question

select the correct text in the passage.
which of these excerpts from \freeway 280\ by lorna dee cervantes best exemplifies the themes of hope and resilience?

1. the freeway conceals it

all beneath a raised scar.

1. old gardens

come back stronger than they were,
trees have been left standing in their yards.

that would have kept me out.

1. once, i wanted out, wanted the rigid lanes

to take me to a place without sun
reset
next

Explanation:

• Option 2: "old gardens come back stronger than they were" shows resilience as the gardens recover and become better. It also implies hope as there is a positive transformation.
• Option 1: "The freeway conceals it all beneath a raised scar" just describes a physical situation without hope or resilience themes.
• Option 3: "I scramble over the wire fence that would have kept me out" is more about an action of getting through an obstacle, not strongly related to hope and resilience in the sense of growth and positive change like the gardens example.
• Option 4: "Once, I wanted out, wanted the rigid lanes to take me to a place without sun" shows a past negative desire, not hope and resilience.

Answer:

1. old gardens come back stronger than they were
