Answer 1

In "Everyday Use," the mother likes Dee's appreciation for African art, suggesting that Alice Walker is not against people recovering their African heritage.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the story "Everyday Use," the mother likes something about Dee when she arrives, and this suggests that Alice Walker isn't against people recovering their African heritage. The answer is A) Dee's appreciation for African art.

This can be seen in the text when the mother states, "And then she buried Maggie's grandmother alive. She wore the dress and earrings of her mother's times, ate her food, and giggled over her porcelains. From the other side of the car comes a short, stocky man. Hair is cropped close to his head with woolly white for about six inches in a band around the head." Dee's appreciation for African art suggests her interest in recovering her African heritage.
