Read this excerpt from Little Women.

As I went downstairs soon after, I saw something I liked. The flights are very long in this tall house, and as I stood waiting at the head of the third one for a little servant girl to lumber up, I saw a gentleman come along behind her, take the heavy hod of coal out of her hand, carry it all the way up, put it down at a door near by, and walk away, saying, with a kind nod and a foreign accent, "It goes better so. The little back is too young to haf such heaviness."

Wasn't it good of him? I like such things, for as Father says, trifles show character. When I mentioned it to Mrs. K., that evening, she laughed, and said, "That must have been Professor Bhaer, he's always doing things of that sort."

In her letter home, Jo, mentions that she “like[s] such things.” Which of the following events in Jo’s life shows her to be the kind of character who would like what she observed here?

• when she sold her hair

• when she edited her story to sell it for $100

• when she met Laurie behind a curtain at a dance

Read this excerpt from Little Women.

Jo couldn't even lose her heart in a decorous manner, but sternly tried to quench her feelings, and failing to do so, led a somewhat agitated life. She was mortally afraid of being laughed at for surrendering, after her many and vehement declarations of independence. Laurie was her especial dread, but thanks to the new manager, he behaved with praiseworthy propriety, never called Mr. Bhaer 'a capital old fellow' in public, never alluded, in the remotest manner, to Jo's improved appearance, or expressed the least surprise at seeing the Professor's hat on the Marches' table nearly every evening.

Previously, Jo had sworn off love and marriage. What can the reader infer from this excerpt?

• Jo still thinks that marriage is for the weak.

• Jo believes that marriage is not for her, but believes that others find happiness in it.

• Jo regrets not marrying Laurie when he asked her.
