Question: What is the gist of this excerpt?

The gist of the excerpt is about the speaker's cultural upbringing in Mali and how it fostered his passion for drumming at an early age. He was given a drum as a toy to distract him from crying as a two year old, and he began actively drumming by the age of five. Being born into a griot family where music, singing, and dancing were prominent daily activities, he was consistently around these artistic expressions. This environment played a significant role in shaping his musical ability and passion for drumming and he learned by watching and participating.

Answer:
Option A. The lines "she is a superior woman" most likely reveals that father has developed a deep respect for Miss Whitlaw.
Explanation:
"Dragonwings" is a children's historical novel written by Lawrence Yep that was published in 1975. It tells the story of a young boy named Moon shadow Lee who lives in China and has never met his father before, but one day is taken by a man named Hand Clap to American to finally meet his dad.
When father expresses that Miss Whitlaw is a superior woman, he is trying to state how he has developed a deep respect for her. This does not come as a surprise, as Miss Whitlaw is a caring and understanding woman who runs a home for elderly people and who is always willing to help others.
...How do you feel about participating in school concerts or sports competitions? What events have you taken part in? What character trait would you like to change?
The student answers Alan's letter sharing their experiences in school events like spelling bee contests and school plays, as well as expressing their thoughts on school concerts and sports competitions. They also shared the character trait they would like to change which is their overplanning nature.
That's great to hear about your participation in your school concert, Alan! It's a big step to take, especially when you're shy. As for me, I've participated in various school events, including a spelling bee contest and the school play. They, like your own experience, were both challenging and rewarding.
I think the beauty of school concerts and sports competitions is that they help us to grow personally, as we confront our fears and push our boundaries. For character traits, I sometimes wish I was more spontaneous. I'm usually the one who likes to plan everything out to the last detail, which can be a bit restricting at times.
