read paragraphs 6 - 9. which paragraph most explains why zitkála - šá’s mother blames others for devastating her family?
a. paragraph 6
b. paragraph 7
c. paragraph 8
d. paragraph 9

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to analyze the content of paragraphs 6 - 9 (not provided here, but typically in such reading comprehension questions):

1. Recall the context of Zitkala - Sa's mother's feelings about others devastating her family.
2. Analyze each paragraph (6 - 9) to see which one provides the reasoning for her blaming others.

Assuming from typical texts (e.g., from Zitkala - Sa's works or related passages), if paragraph 9 contains the explanation of why her mother blames others for the family's devastation (e.g., details about external forces, events, or people that caused harm to the family which the mother attributes to others), then the correct answer would be:

We analyze the content of paragraphs 6 - 9 (based on the context of Zitkala - Sa's mother's situation). The paragraph that explains her blaming others for the family's devastation (from typical related texts) is paragraph 9.

Answer:

D. paragraph 9
