Read the passage from “i know why the caged bird sings.”

"that is a very good job, mrs. henderson. you should he proud. you can put your dress back on, marguerite."

"no ma'am. pride is a sin. and 'cording to the good book, it goeth before a fall."

"that's right. so the bible says. it's a good thing to keep in mind."

what is the best analysis of this passage?

it entertains the reader because it contrasts what momma says with what she does.
it informs the reader because it describes the importance of the bible in momma’s life.
it teaches the reader because it shows one of the codes of conduct momma lives by.
it persuades the reader because it makes momma’s argument against pride clear.

This is one of the biblical allusions that is used in the novel. Alongside with other allusions, the excerpt shows the importance of the Bible in character's life. Other options are so close, however the passage conveys the importance of Bible. First option is not correct because nothing has been given about the actions of Momma after this conversation. Third option is also not correct. Momma values Bible, but there is nothing mentioned about the code of conduct. The fourth option also bears the same logic. All the options lack the ideal summary of the excerpt, except the the second option.

because i have already answered your question several times, answering it again would be superfluous.
