Answer
A
Wash’s mom reminds me of Harriet Tubman and other women who fought for freedom.
B
Wash’s mom reminds me of my grandmother, because both women wake up early.
C
Wash’s mom reminds me of the parents in the book Number the Stars, because both are kind.
D
Wash’s mom reminds me of the father in the story “Raymond’s Run,” because both are supportive.

Explanation

A text-to-self connection links something in a text to the reader’s own life. Choice B connects Wash’s mom to the student’s grandmother, a personal comparison. The other choices compare her to people or characters from history or other books, so they are text-to-text connections.
