Read the excerpt from "Dwaina Brooks.” Coupons helped cut the prices for sandwich wrapping, cookies, and mayonnaise. Dwaina's uncle got them discount lunch meats from the store where he used to work. Thursday night was bargain night at the bakery in nearby Lancaster. They drove away with six big loaves of day-old bread for 1 point 7 8 dollars "Mama, do you think anyone at the shelter will really eat day-old bread?" Dwaina asked. "We eat it," Gail replied. "If it don't kill us, it won't kill them." The baker gave them twenty free boxes, too, when he heard how they would be used. Dwaina's aunts and uncles brought over huge sacks of chips and big bottles of salad dressing. What idea is emphasized through repetition?
Answer

Many people in the community contributed to Dwaina’s cause in their own way.
B
Dwaina wanted to make the meals without help from the community.
C
Dwaina was overwhelmed and unsure what to do with the additional food.
D
Many people in the community were nervous about helping Dwaina.
Explanation
The excerpt repeatedly describes different people contributing food or supplies: Dwaina’s uncle obtained discounted lunch meats, the baker gave them free boxes, and her aunts and uncles brought chips and salad dressing. These examples emphasize that many people in the community helped Dwaina’s cause in their own way. The passage does not suggest that she wanted to work alone or that helpers were nervous.
