Question

the author wants the reader to assume that
a. brooks neglected her family life for her writing career.
b. brooks only had success with nonfiction and poetry works.
c. brooks did not receive recognition until after her death.
d. brooks successfully wrote literature in many genres.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The passage doesn't suggest Brooks neglected her family for writing, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: There's no info indicating she only had success with nonfiction and poetry, so B is wrong.
• Option C: The passage doesn't support that she got recognition only after death, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: The context (mention of her writing, including poetry and other works) implies she wrote successfully in multiple literary genres, making D the correct assumption.

Answer:

D. Brooks successfully wrote literature in many genres.
