Excerpt from: Wild Plum Jelly Tracy Wilson Wild Plum Jelly By: Tracy Wilson 1 In the winter of 1976, when I was only four years

old, my family moved into a modest home in a growing Greenville neighborhood. Upon a slope on one side of the house, stood a dozen tree sprigs looking rather bald and barren. By springtime, however, the little trees began growing taller and bushier by the day. Upon exploring the hillside in mid-July, I noticed hundreds of quarter-sized, pinkish orbs dangling, daring me to pick just one. Of course, I did. 2Plums? I questioned. Yes, plums. she reiterated. She explained that these were not the same as the deeply colored, voluptuous kind I had seen in the market. These were a smaller and much sourer variety.> 3 Knowing that they were safe, I ate enough that one afternoon to give me a stomachache that lasted two days. As the plums became riper and sweeter, my grandma and I picked enough to fill two enormous buckets. She taught me to make jelly from the tiny fruits which we could enjoy all winter long. 4 Years later, I was driving down a long, winding highway when I noticed several wild plum trees lining the hedgerow. I had to pull over. I picked a heaping handful. As I sat there on the side of the highway, I basked in the tartness of my childhood fruit and in the sweetness of the memory of making jelly with the greatest woman I have ever known. What is the main idea of this selection?

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

This is a passage from a book<em> Black Girl</em> which is written by Ousmane Sembène.  The story follows a young Senegalese girl who started to work for a rich French family in Antibes. She expected to be a nanny and have a good life, but it turned out that they wanted her as a servant and treated her very harsh.

 Reading this text, we see that Madame is sick of doing everything alone, so she hires a maid, a girl called Diouana who has African roots. She is given a good salary, some old clothes and shoes she can still use.

Answer A is not true, because Madame is not resentful, she wanted help and she got it.

Answer B - although she might not much about France we can not conclude that from this passage

Answer C - this behavior of Diouana is not mentioned in the text

Answer D is correct - she doesn't treat Diouana respectfully, if she really wanted to give her clothes, she would have given her new clothes, not the used one, in this way she establishes her social dominance. So, she gives her high salary in purpose to bribe her into coming to France, so she could have free time.
