Read the excerpt from "my first march.”

"exactly! ” mama said. "by marching, we’ll be letting the government know that we want those unfair laws to be changed. and while we march we’re going to chant, and after we chant, we’ll sing some songs. one way or another, we’re going to make sure the government hears our message.”

based on the excerpt, what is the best reason why the reader would conclude that mama values integrity?

she makes sure her child has a chance to travel.
she teaches her child that equality is essential.
she reinforces the importance of exercise to her child.

She teaches her child that equality is essential.

Integrity means to be honest and have strong moral values. In the passage the mother is talking about the reason she and others are marching. She says that "we want those unfair laws to be changed." Her moral values do not approve unfair laws that allow for inequality. In looking at the other options, Mama does not mention anything about travel, and she is not marching to get exercise.

The correct answer is indeed that "She teaches her child that equality is essential". The mother believes it is important to give her dauther this lesson because she has a strong sense of integrity. Meaning, she believes in transparency and the right to self-preservation as basics for life. Hence, in the context of social inequality and unjust political/economical measures, she will protest against the system (by marching and singing) and give her daughter an example of this value (integrity.)

now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained.   they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.
