Answer:

She felt proud and also felt closer to her own heritage and home.

Explanation:

<em>Montreal 1962</em> is a short story by Shauna Singh Baldwin, recollecting her first experience of being a Sardar's wife in a foreign land. She recounts how her husband was asked to remove his hair and turban to be employed.

The short story delves into how she, as a Sardar's wife, felt about her husband's predicament on being asked to be 'normal' like the Canadians and get rid of his natural identity- the turban and his hair and be clean-shaven. While her husband was out working, she took upon herself to wash and then work on even trying to tie a turban, like her husband and others must have done before her. And in the process, she began to understand the significance and even the cultural significance of the turban. She felt that it is what makes them “them”, declaring that she will not let their tradition and culture be taken away from them.

She came to the realization of the turban's significance in their lives and decides to stand by him no matter what happens. She will work for her hands and help him to tie his turban, and then she <em>"will have taught Canadians what it takes to wear a turban". </em>

Which details best support the theme that oppression
katrin [286]

Answer:

- "This was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race."

- "... they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings."

Explanation:

1. This statement support the theme especially looking at the ending part which says, "they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race". We note that the perceived oppression they experienced prompted them to act, but despite acting they were still struggling with the alternative course of action.

2. The statement "they were far better off" indicates that they experienced oppression "in the days of Jones".

Thus, after their ordeal they were determined more than ever to avoid the alternative of not preventing the return of the human beings.
