Part B:

Question

Select the piece of evidence from "The History Lesson" that supports the answer to part A.
A.
Soon I started doing other things to help out besides toting her groceries. Since it was fall, her yard needed raking regularly, so on the weekends, I would rake and bag up the leaves, sometimes filling a dozen large bags.

B.
The soil was so dry that deep, angry cracks formed, and the wind picked up the soil and blew it away, piling it against the house, the barn, and the fences.

C.
Of course, her family's farming was no longer possible, yet they hung on for a few years, her scared, desperate parents borrowing money from the bank, hoping that the drought would break.

D.
Although Miss Chavez does not need help anymore with chores, I still enjoy bringing her groceries into her charming home on Saturdayafternoons. I wish I could do more for her.

Answer 1

This piece of evidence supports the answer to part A because it shows how Miss Chavez's family struggled during the drought and had to borrow money from the bank in hopes that the drought would eventually end.
