The correct answer to this question would be, option A: Freedom´s Journal (established in New York City in 1827) was the first newspaper in the United States published by African Americans.

Explanation:

The reason for this has to do primarily with two parts of the excerpt, the additional information of when and where the newspaper was born, and the word African Americans. Since in the first case, the portion "established in New York City in 1827), this information is just added, and could be removed without affecting the understanding of the idea in the excerpt, then it is placed in brackets to allow the reader to know that this is extra information. But it does not affect overall comprehension. In the second instance, African Americans does not need to be hyphenated as it is not considered one word, but two distinctive descriptors of a person. The one option that gets these characteristics correct, is option A.

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.
