BRAINLIEST AND 20 POINTS, THANKS, AND 5 STARS
In "Dust Storm," J. Malcolm Garcia uses two parallel plot lines to express a theme about the different ways people can become lost. Which two plot lines support this theme?

A. Shopkeeper Haji More Din leads Garcia out of the storm, just as Pakistan leads America out of war.
B. Pashtunabad is full of fear and chaos, just as the author is frightened and confused by the unusual dust storm.
C. The author is physically lost in a dust storm, and the United States seems "lost" about how to handle conflict in the Middle East.
D. Jamshed’s mind is clouded by his biases and previous experiences, and Garcia is lost in an actual cloud of dust.


Which passage from “Dust Storm” illustrates one of the memoir’s key themes about where truth or wisdom can be found?

A. The maze of alleys we followed, the open sewers and crumbling buildings we passed confused us, but my translator Jamshad and I kept walking.
B. By the time I appreciated that we were lost it was too late to do anything but forge ahead and complete my story and meet my deadline.
C. My feet ached from walking the pitted roads and the sun bore down with a relentless weight. The wind picked up as the minutes passed. I turned my head to clear my eyes of grit.
D. Haji More Din stood in the doorway like someone behind a beaded curtain. He stared past me into the sky and then the wind rose once more and I lost sight of him completely.
