This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from Warriors Don't Cry. Those matches were big events in my life because we traveled downtown to the Robinson Auditorium, a place usually reserved for white people only. Those were the times when I got to go outside my neighborhood, outside the world where I spent most of my life. We sat in the same room with white folks, able to observe them close up. I wanted to get to know them better, to see what it was they had that put them in charge.
The central idea of this excerpt is that the narrator?
A) is surprised by public race restrictions.
B) cherishes her rare worldly experiences.
C) enjoys time spent with her grandmother.
D) longs to have a more diverse neighborhood.
Answer:
The central idea of this excerpt is that the narrator:
B) cherishes her rare worldly experiences.
Step-by-step explanation:
The excerpt we are analyzing here is from Melba Patillo Beal's memoir "Warriors Don't Cry," in which she narrates her life and experiences with discrimination. These particular lines focus on how rare and exciting were the times when she was able to leave her neighborhood, to see the "outside world". During these opportunities, she would also take the time to watch white people closely in an attempt to understand what made them different to the point of placing them "in charge". But, again, the excerpt's central idea revolves around her worldly experiences and how precious they were.
