Read the passage from My Antonia by Willa Cather?
Those girls had grown up in the first bitter-hard
times, and had got little schooling themselves. But
the younger brothers and sisters, for whom they
made such sacrifices and who have had
"advantages," never seem to me, when I meet them
now, half as interesting or as well educated. The older
girls, who helped to break up the wild sod, learned so
much from life, from poverty, from their mothers and
grandmothers; they had all, like Antonia, been early
awakened and made observant by coming at a tender
age from an old country to a new.
Which theme is best supported by the contrast in this
passage?
A. It is better for girls to be farmers than teachers.
B. Experience can be a more effective teacher than
formal education.
C. It isn't a good idea to make sacrifices for your family.
D. People who have advantages aren't very interesting.
