Question

1. which piece of text best demonstrates the narrators feelings about where she lives? my objective classmates did not know, for instance, about the garden. the housing project we lived in had been built just before the war on poverty, probably intended for g.i.s returning from world war ii. they were suburban - style tract houses, two units to each trim building. no one came to visit us there in the bad part of town. we had arrived not that long before, when we were a month away from homelessness, but i did not look at this as a place of shelter. the other people in these projects were nearly all white. we were one of the few black families. the projects tract houses stood behind green lawns and weeping willow trees and generous blacktopped driveways. to an outsider there was little distinction between where we lived and the middle - class homes across the street. but everyone in our town knew which side of the street was which, which side was where the real people lived and which side was to be avoided. (10 - 12)

Explanation:

The text "but I did not look at this as a place of shelter" shows the narrator's feelings. It indicates that the narrator does not view the housing - project simply as a place to stay, suggesting a more complex emotional stance. Other parts of the text mainly describe the physical aspects or historical background of the housing - project.

Answer:

C. but I did not look at this as a place of shelter
