- A. show how far she has come
- B. establish a connection with her audience
- C. debunk a myth about African-American women
- D. make people feel sorry for her
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A is correct. Walker uses the reference to her promotions from farm laborer, to laundress, to cook to show just how far she has come to get to her current position as head of a company that has made more than $63,000 (a great deal of money in 1912) in only seven years.
