Which detail best shows Maggie's relationship with her mother?
excerpt from A Good Place for Maggie
by Ofelia Dumas Lachtman
Even getting away from home this morning hadn't been too bad. It was spring vacation, and her mom and stepfather were away on business.
The only person she had to explain to was the neighbor woman who looked in on her. The hard part had been figuring what to say to her
mother. She had sat staring at a blank sheet of paper for a long time.
She knew what she wanted to write: "Dear Mother, It was bad enough after the divorce, being without Dad, I mean. After a couple of years I got
used to seeing him mostly on weekends, but now it's worse. Because he's dead. Three whole months and I still can't believe it. Maybe you can't
help being away so much, but with both of you gone it's awfully lonely. Sure, there's been school, and I did have dinner at Mim's house and a
move with Lorena on Saturday. But the good things are missing. Dad. Dad. Dad. I don't feel that I'm part of a family anymore. Jase is a good
enough stepfather, but I told you both how I felt about that condo in downtow L. A. and you guys went ahead and bought it. It's a terrible place.
All there is to breathe inside is processed air and outside, car exhaust. My vote doesn't count, does it, Mom?"
That's what she wanted to say, but didn't. "Mom," she finally wrote, "I've gone to Twisted Creed. Papacito said he'd be there if I needed him. He
won't mind. After all, he is my only living grandparent. I'll drive carefully, I promise. Please, please don't be mad at me." Then she had shoved two
more sweaters into her suitcase, picked up her paint box and favorite brushes, and left.

Read the passage from sugar changed the world. but it is in india, where it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies, that we have the first written record of sugar. long before the first pyramids were built in egypt, the ancient sumerians traded with the people of harappa and mohenjo daro, who lived along the indus river. unfortunately, we are still not able to read the writings left behind from those ancient cities. so the first documents telling us about life in that region come from a much later period. these hindu sacred teachings were probably first gathered together sometime between 1500 and 900 b.c., and were carefully memorized. only hundreds of years later were they finally written down. the hindu writings tell us of a religion in which fire was extremely important. people believed that the gods gave fire to human beings. yet fire was also a way for humans to reach the gods. by placing offerings in a special fire, a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods. five ingredients were selected for this special burning: milk, cheese, butter, honey, and sugar cane. which details would best fit in a summary of this passage? select two options. "in india . . it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies" "the first written record of sugar" "long before the first pyramids were built in egypt" "gods gave fire to human beings" "a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods"
