Tues💙QUIZIZZ Farewell To Manzanar

The following passage (paragraph 1) mainly shows that .

The water was clean, the sky a sharp Sunday blue, with all the engines of that white sardine fleet puttering up into it, and a lot of yelling, especially around Papa’s boat. Papa loved to give orders. He had attended military school in Japan until the age of seventeen, and part of him never got over that. My oldest brothers, Bill and Woods, were his crew. They would have to check the nets again, and check the fuel tanks again, and run back to the grocery store for some more cigarettes, and then somehow everything had been done, and they were easing away from the wharf, joining the line of boats heading out past the lighthouse, into the harbor.

• Papa was bossy

• Papa and his sons were hard workers

• Bill and Woods thought that being part of Papa’s crew was hard

• Papa cared about his boat more than anything

The comparison between ships and gulls adds to the development of the following passage (paragraphs 4-5) mainly by explaining that .

We watched until the boats became a row of tiny white gulls on the horizon. Our vigil would end when they slipped over the edge and disappeared. You had to squint against the glare to keep them sighted, and with every blink you expected the last white speck to be gone.

But this time they didn’t disappear. They kept floating out there, suspended, as if the horizon had finally become what it always seemed to be from shore: the sea’s limit beyond which no man could sail. They floated a while, then they began to grow, tiny gulls becoming boats again, a white armada cruising toward us.

• the boats are harmless

• the boats normally become small-looking before they disappear beyond the horizon

• gulls usually occupy the horizon when the boats disappear

• government ships are not intimidating in the distance

Which of these inferences about Mama is best supported by the final paragraphs of the excerpt?

What had they charged him with? We didn’t know either, until an article appeared in the Santa Monica paper, saying he had been arrested for delivering oil to Japanese submarines offshore.

My mother began to weep. It seems now that she wept for days. She was a small plump woman who laughed and cried easily, but I had never seen her cry like this. I couldn’t understand it. I remember clinging to her legs, wondering why everyone was crying. This was the beginning of a terrible, frantic time for all my family.

• Mama’s tears over Papa’s arrest were different than the normal tears she’d shed.

• Mama cried because she was “a small plump woman.”

• Mama also did not understand why she was crying so much.
