Answer 1

D because it shows how Momma is affected. What book is that?

Answer 2

D. She talks with a more distinctly Southern accent.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the historical fictional novel "The Watsons Go to Birmingham", author Paul Curtis talks about the racial discrimination and unrest that occur in America. Set in two states of Michigan and Alabama, the Watsons' life in Flint and their journey to Bimingham, Alabama covers how life is different for an African American person.

Momma/ Wilona who was from Alabama had moved to Flint after she married Mr. Watson. Coming from a southern state, she was quite unfamiliar with life in Michigan. But she adjusted well, even at times not using her southern accent. So, when the whole family had to go to Grandma Sands' house in Birmingham, Alabama, she was quite excited to be back. Her southern accent began to emerge more and more as she conversed with her mother, which the children "could only understand half of the things that they said". She noticed how her home had changed and visited old friends. She also was shocked, unimpressed and displeased with Grandma Sands' relationship with Mr. Robert.
