Which details show that part of the author’s purpose is to pay tribute to others? Excerpt from Desert Exile: The Uprooting of a Japanese-American Family By Yoshiko Uchida As soon as we got off the bus, we were directed to an area beneath the grandstand where we registered and filled out a series of forms. Our baggage was inspected for contraband, a cursory medical check made, and our living quarters assigned. We were to be housed in Barrack 16, Apartment 40. Fortunately, some friends who had arrived earlier found us and offered to help us locate our quarters. It had rained the day before and the hundreds of people who had trampled on the track had turned it into a miserable mass of slippery mud. We made our way on it carefully, helping my mother who was dressed just as she would have been to go to church. She wore a hat, gloves, her good coat, and her Sunday shoes, because she would not have thought of venturing outside our house dressed in any other way. A. Their baggage was inspected before they were assigned housing. B. People seek out friends and help them get settled. C. They were directed to an area beneath the grandstand. D. Hundreds of people had trampled on the track.

Respuesta :

B, People seek out friends and help them get settled. Hope this helps.

Answer:

The best option seems indeed to be the second one:  B. People seek out friends and help them get settled.

Explanation:

To pay tribute to someone means to say or do something that shows admiration for them.

In the excerpt we are studying here, the narrator makes a point of mentioning how friends, who were in a similar situation having lost their homes, were kind and concerned enough to come and help the narrator's family to find their apartment. That is the author's way of showing them respect: by publicly praising them.
