Question

As I washed the unfinished food down the drain and collected the paper plates to throw out, I considered my ancestors. What would they think of this excess and waste? They would have spent days on a hunt to take down a single bison and then painstakingly find a use for every single part. Was our heritage picnic becoming a dishonor to their legacy?

Which detail most clearly gives this passage a reflective tone?
A.The facts about traditional hunting.
B.The question about excess and waste.
C.Mention of the narrator's ancestors.
D.The thoughts on the picnic's success.

Answer 1

B. The question about excess and waste because questioning something is generally an act of reflection.

Answer 2

B. The question about excess and waste.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the passage, the narrator gives conscious thought to the fact that she has thrown away an unreasonable amount of food that was not eaten as well as paper plates. In that respect, she contemplates on what her ancestors, who used to hunt and made use of each part of the predate, would think about everything that has been wasted.
