One central idea from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is that people without much education can be as wise as well-educated people. Which passage from the story supports this central idea?

Question 1 options:

a)

…"Now no one is going to make you talk—possibly no one can. But bear in mind, language is man's way of communicating with his fellow man and it is language alone which separates him from the lower animals." That was a totally new idea to me, and I would need time to think about it.

b)

Mrs. Bertha Flowers was the aristocrat of Black Stamps. She had the grace of control to appear warm in the coldest weather, and on the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her.

c)

"Your grandmother says you read a lot. Every chance you get. That's good, but not good enough. Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning."

d)

She said that I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. She encouraged me to listen carefully to what country people called mother wit. That in those homely sayings was couched the wisdom of generations.
