Will give  brainliest  read the following excerpt from “homecoming.” “i am not against my children receiving an education,” father had said. “but, i am against them receiving an education that costs them their heritage. that cost is too high.” when atsidi had asked grandmother if she thought nantai would recognize his family after being in the white man’s world for so long, grandmother had reassured him of nantai’s connectedness to diné bikéyah. what historical reality is represented in this excerpt? a. the struggle of the navajo to retain their culture and traditionsb. the rejection of modern education by the navajoc. the removal of navajo children from their homesd. the conflict between the navajo and the american governments

The answer is A due to the fact that the Navajo didn't reject the idea of education, it isn't speaking about removal from homes or boarding schools, and the conflict isn't mentioned within this excerpt.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
