Answer:

C

The speaker was not aware of race as a child yet as an adult he is always aware of it.

Explanation:

The main point of the short interesting story in paragraph 3 about the speaker unlawfully taken a black child when he wanted a baby sister so desperately while he was a child is that the speaker was ignorant of his race as a child as he does now when he is an adult.

The speaker who is a male from a middle class home discussed that despite the face that his parents has no substantial money,he enjoyed some rare privilege which his neighbor were not opportune to while growing up in an inner-city housing.

Generalizations, Conclusions, and Inferences (Part 1) Determine if each statement is a reasonable generalization that can be mad
mezya [45]

Inference is a logical conclusion based on the information provided, while generalization takes that conclusion and applies it to other similar situations. Based on those definitions, we can determine if each of the statements is a rasonable generalization or not.

"The sibling rivalry is due to the arrival of a newborn baby in the house" is neither an inference nor a generalization. There is no indication in the text of a new baby.

"The speaker is from a large family" cannot be inferred either, as the narrator only mentions one sibling.

"The speaker loves the brother" is a fair inference based on the text.  The narrator mentions that her brother means the world to her, so this statement is a logical conclusion.

"The brother gets into trouble often"  is not a reasonable inference nor generalizatino. The only information provided is that he insists on reading his sister's diary.

"The speaker believes others feel the same way as the speaker about their diaries" <em>is the only </em><em>reasonable generalization</em>. The narrator assumes that by telling her brother her diary is boring, he won't want to read it. That he is only interested in knowing her secrets. Therefore, she thinks others view diaries the same way she does.

What type of language convention has the author used to separate the declarative sentence from the disruptive phrase in this exc
Tems11 [23]
The language convention that the author used to separate the declarative sentence from the disruptive phrase in this excerpt are em dashes.
The disruptive phrase is everything separated from the rest of the sentence by these dashes - "so called because they used to, like, declare things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not." This phrase disrupts the natural flow of the sentence by being randomly embedded in it.
