Question

how did maggie’s church and education influence her?
a. they helped her develop the confidence that she could do great things.
b. they encouraged her to pursue a career in banking.
c. they prepared her for the unfair treatment she would receive in the world.
d. they taught her to stick with things even when they got difficult.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If the church and education helped Maggie develop confidence in her capabilities (to do great things), this aligns with how supportive environments (like church/education) often boost self - assurance.
• Option B: There's no indication the church/education pushed her toward banking specifically.
• Option C: Preparing for unfair treatment isn't a typical focus of church or education in this context.
• Option D: Teaching her to “stick with things” is too vague; the core impact of church/education here is more about confidence - building than just perseverance.

Answer:

A. They helped her develop the confidence that she could do great things.
