Will give ! which sentence from my antonia shows a contrast? a)“they had all, like antonia, been early awakened and made observant by coming at a tender age from an old country to a new.” b)“some of the high-school girls were jolly and pretty, but they stayed indoors in winter because of the cold . .” c)“but every one of them did what she had set out to do, and sent home those hard-earned dollars.” d)“their children are better off than the children of the town women they used to serve.”

I'm pretty sure it is D.

Explanation:

The use of the word 'than' shows it is comparing and contrasting. It compares the children and how they are doing compared to other children, that there is a difference. I'm not absolutely sure, but this makes the most sense.

D)“Their children are better off than the children of the town women they used to serve.”

Explanation:

In order to make the contrast between the two facts very clear, one uses the words "than". This word establishes a contrast I show that "Their children" contrast with those contrasted with "children of the women of the city" because they are superior.
