Look Into the Text Mama Lil and I had been butting heads ever since I could
remember. And the older I got, the more at odds we were.
She thought I weighed too much and dressed badly. I thought
she smoked too much and overdid it with her fake gold chains.
Time after time, she'd asked me, "How you ever gonna land a
decent man with them chunky arms and those T-shirts that put
your navel on parade? No self-respecting seventeen-year-old
should be letting it all hang out like that."

what is a theme?

ans: the implicit idea of a written work of literature is called a theme.

so, the only theme of "birdfoot's grampa" by joseph bruchuc is that as a human being one should always remember the value of every life on earth.

the grampa is stopping the car again and again to save those little toads from washing away in the heavy rain is an act of kindness and humanity.

explanation:

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
