Deena pressed her hands against the heavy oak window frame and pushed upward. In rushed the jarring sounds of honking horns and screeching tires and the pungent smells of exhaust and uncollected trash, all piggybacking on a welcome current of cool air. Deena had been in the one-room apartment nearly two months now and had managed to acquire no more than a small cot in the corner opposite the door, a folding table and two chairs beside the window, and an assortment of milk crates in which to store her meager belongings.

What does the writer’s choice of words convey about his or her attitudes toward Deena? Give two examples that support your answer.

According to the given excerpt, the narrator describes the actions of Deena where she opened the windows and began to hear the sound of the traffic from the road.

He also describes her room apartment and how it was not properly furnished and contained just:

A small cot
A folding table
Two chairs
An assortment of milk crates.

The examples that support my answer is "...had managed to acquire" and "...her meager belongings"

Therefore, the correct answer is that Deena was not well-to-do
