“my mother was a no-nonsense, practical woman who liked things simple; once a month, all the children were plopped onto a kitchen stool for an unceremonious bowl cut performed with heavy sewing shears.”
if the writer were to delete the words “unceremonious” and “bowl” from the sentence, the sentence would primarily lose:
a) elements that further develop the relationship between the siblings
b) a contrast emphasizing the family’s poverty
c) details that emphasize the values of the narrators home
d) a comparison of the narrators homes to those of her friends
