In "goodbye to all that," joan didion writes that the days before she "knew the names of all the bridges were happier than the ones that came later." which evidence from the text best supports the idea that her first years in new york were better than her last years in the city?
a) "the white rose bars opened very early in the morning; i recall waiting in one of them to watch an astronaut go into space, waiting so long that at the moment it actually happened i had my eyes not on the television screen but on a cockroach on the tile floor."
b "i never bought any furniture in new york. for a year or so i lived in other people’s apartments; after that i lived in the nineties in an apartment furnished entirely with things taken from storage by a friend whose wife had moved away."
c)"nothing was irrevocable; everything was within reach. just around every corner lay something curious and interesting, something i had never before seen or done or known about."
d)"temporary exiles who always knew when the flights left for new orleans or memphis or richmond or, in my case, california. someone who lives always with a plane schedule in the drawer lives on a slightly different calendar."

Read this excerpt from i never had it made. "it's all that ought to count," he replied. "but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." he was back to the crossroads question that made me start to get angry minutes earlier. he asked it slowly and with great care. "have you got the guts to play the game no matter what happens? " "i think i can play the game, mr. rickey," i said. the next few minutes were tough. branch rickey had to make absolutely sure that i knew what i would face. beanballs would be thrown at me. i would be called the kind of names which would hurt and infuriate any man. i would be physically attacked. could i take all of this and control my temper, remain steadfastly loyal to our ultimate aim? which is the central idea of this excerpt?
