Read the excerpt from the essay "The Work You Do, the Person You Are" by Toni Morrison. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was profound. I was not like the children in folktales: burdensome mouths to feed, nuisances to be corrected, problems so severe that they were abandoned to the forest. I had a status that doing routine chores in my house did not provide—and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmations that I was adultlike, not childlike.

Which choice BEST summarizes the ideas in the excerpt?

A. The author reflects upon the frustration she felt and the burden of doing work as a child.

B. The author seeks to compare the differences between children in earlier times and today's children.

C. The author explores how adults cater to children who do not work versus children who do work.

D. The author takes pride in distinguishing herself from children who do not work or contribute to the family.
