Question

Which sentence supports the theme that growing up requires patience and cannot be rushed? A. Every day Babette danced out to where the fig-trees were in a long line against the fence. B. Maman-Nainaine said that when the figs were ripe Babette might go to visit her cousins down on the Bayou-Lafourche where the sugar cane grows. C. "Babette," continued Maman-Nainaine, as she peeled the very plumpest figs with her pointed silver fruit-knife, "you will carry my love to them all down on Bayou-Lafourche." D. "Ah," said Maman-Nainaine, arching her eyebrows, "how early the figs have ripened this year!"

Answer 1

B. Maman-Nainaine said that when the figs were ripe Babette might go to visit her cousins down on the Bayou-Lafourche where the sugar cane grows

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that supports the theme that growing up requires patience and cannot be rushed is option B.

This is because, Maman-Nainaine uses the fig tree and fruits to teach Babette patience because she let's her know that she would only be allowed to go visiting when the figs were ripe.
