Read the excerpt from A Girl Named Zippy. Without ceremony, she gave me the slippers. They were made of the most fabulous, long, fake fur, and when worn, made the human foot look like a pink, oval biscuit. The fur kind of sprouted up off the top of the slippers and hung down to the floor. They made a delicious little snicking sound as I walked, too. I remember no house slippers before or after this pair. Why does the author include the detail about her slippers? They were of little importance to her. Her sister never gave her another gift. She didn't really like the house slippers. They were a vivid memory from her childhood.

The author includes the details about her slippers because:

D. They were a vivid memory from her childhood.

Explanation:

The memoir "A Girl Named Zippy" was written by Haven Kimmel. She talks of her past growing up in Mooreland, Indiana, in the 1960s. To answer this question, we can use elimination by analyzing each option.

Option A is incorrect. If the slippers were of little importance to Kimmel, she wouldn't take the time to describe them in so much detail.

We can eliminate option B simply because that information - that her sister never gave her anything else - is not mentioned.

Option C is also incorrect. She did like the house slippers. The words she uses to describe them - fabulous, delicious, etc. - convey a positive idea.

Option D is the correct one. We can easily see how those slippers have become a vivid memory for the author. The sentence "I remember no house slippers before or after this pair" shows how important those slippers were. No other pair was memorable enough. These were special, beautiful, "delicious" and "fabulous".
