Question

read the excerpt from their eyes were watching god. to her way of thinking all these things set her aside from negroes. that was why she sought out janie to friend with. janies coffee-and-cream complexion and her luxurious hair made mrs. turner forgive her for wearing overalls like the other women who worked in the fields. what does the phrase \to friend with\ mean? ○ to want to meet ○ to introduce ○ to dine with ○ to get to know

Explanation:

The phrase "to friend with" in this context refers to initiating a friendly relationship. Looking at the options: "to want to meet" is too superficial; "to introduce" does not fit the intent of forming a bond; "to dine with" is a specific action not implied here. "To get to know" aligns with the idea of seeking out someone to form a friendship, as Mrs. Turner is drawn to Janie and wants to build a connection.

Answer:

to get to know
