In alice walker's "everyday use," what does dee mean when she says, "maggie can't appreciate these quilts! she'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use."?
1) i never had an education myself. after second grade the school was closed down. don't ask my why: in 1927 colored asked fewer questions than they do now. sometimes maggie reads to me. she stumbles along good-naturedly but can't see well. she knows she is not bright. like good looks and money, quickness passes her by.
2) when she was courting jimmy t she didn't have much time to pay to us, but turned all her faultfinding power on him. he flew to marry a cheap city girl from a family of ignorant flashy people. she hardly had time to recompose herself.
3) it is hard to see them clearly through the strong sun. but even the first glimpse of leg out of the car tells me it is dee. her feet were always neat-looking, as if god himself had shaped them with a certain style. from the other side of the car comes a short, stocky man.
4) dee next. a dress down to the ground, in this hot weather. a dress so loud it hurts my eyes. there are yellows and oranges enough to throw back the light of the sun. i feel my whole face warming from the heat waves it throws out. earrings gold, too, and hanging down to her shoulders. bracelets dangling and making noises when she moves her arm up to shake the folds of the dress out of her armpits.
5) we sat down to eat and right away he said he didn't eat collards and pork was unclean. wangero, though, went on through the chitins and corn bread, the greens and everything else. she talked a blue streak over the sweet potatoes. everything delighted her.

{asap} select the correct text in the passage. which line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling, adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. lines highlighted: - there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling, - they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather - i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, - i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing.
