Answer 1

The speaker in the poem refers to items of clothing to illustrate her nostalgic memories of her parents and the times associated with them. Therefore, the correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker mentions the following items: 'your Michigan spring faded curtain pieces, my father's Santa Fe work shirt, the summer denims, the tweed of fall' mainly to show what she remembers her parents wearing when she was younger.

These descriptions of clothing serve as a vivid recollection of her parents, evoking a sense of nostalgia and illustrating the passage of seasons and time. These items of clothing are symbolic, representing different periods and experiences in the speaker's past, and are not aimed at demonstrating poverty, personal preferences in clothing, nor the crafting of quilts.
