Question

select the correct answer.
which of dees actions in \everyday use\ by alice walker is in line with the following description of her character?
she was determined to stare down any disaster in her efforts. her eyelids would not flicker for minutes at a time. often i fought off the temptation to shake her. at sixteen she had a style of her own; and knew what style was.
a. changing her name
b. taking pictures of maggie
c. eating chitlins and collards
d. marrying hakim-a-barber
e. giving the quilts to maggie

Explanation:

The character description highlights Dee's strong will, determination, and distinct sense of self/style. Changing her name to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo is an intentional, bold choice that reflects her desire to define her identity on her own terms, aligning with her determined, self-assured nature described. The other options do not match this description: taking pictures is performative, eating chitlins is a fleeting gesture, marrying Hakim-a-barber is a choice but not tied to this specific trait, and giving quilts to Maggie is uncharacteristic of her earlier self-focused behavior.

Answer:

A. changing her name
