Which passage from the excerpt best supports the idea that Mrs. Bowles is trustworthy?

“She was older than Mother, with kind eyes and laughter lines that curled around the sides of her mouth.”

“I sat on the hardest plank in the back next to a woman named Mrs. Bowles. Two boys huddled together for comfort.”

Mrs. Bowles was a straight-backed woman dressed in Quaker gray.”

“Her neck was dirty and her dress was torn. I wanted to speak to her but couldn’t think of what to say.”

The passage below (paragraph 28) adds to the development of the text mainly by? It was night in the middle of the day. Heat from the brick houses filled the street like a bake oven. Clouds shielded the sun, colors were overshot with gray. No one was about; businesses were closed and houses shuttered. I could hear a woman weeping. Some houses were barred against intruders. Yellow rags fluttered from railings and door knockers—pus yellow, fear yellow—to mark the homes of the sick and the dying. I caught sight of a few men walking, but they fled down alleys at the sound of the wagon.

showing how the city has become a grim and frightening place

suggesting to the reader that it is winter

explaining why a yellow rag in front of a house is a sign for infection

Matilda won’t be able to get in touch with her mother for some time mainly because fill in the blank___________.

the post office has closed down

her mother is dead from the fever

Which inference is best supported by the following passage (paragraphs 26-27)? Scullery maid, that was one thing I would never be. I imagined Mother’s face when she arrived home and found what a splendid job I had done running the coffeehouse. I could just picture it—I would be seeing the last customers out the door when Mother would come up the steps. She would exclaim how clean and well-run the coffeehouse was. Grandfather would point out the fancy dry goods store I was building next door. I would blush, looking quite attractive in my new dress—French, of course. Perhaps I could hire Susannah to do the washing up. That would be a way of helping. I broke off my daydream to take in our surroundings. Grandfather and the driver had stopped swapping stories. He turned to look back at me anxiously. We were in the center of a dying city.

Matilda is only now beginning to realize how unpredictable her future has become.

Mathilda does a great job of running the family coffee house.

Susannah will go to work for Mathilda’s family.

Matilda has a bad habit of getting lost in her thoughts during important moments.

What is most closely the meaning of the word shells as it is used in the passage below (paragraph 17)? The wagon had reached the part of the city where new houses and businesses were under construction. Where there should have been an army of carpenters, masons, glaziers, plasterers, and painters, I saw only empty shells of buildings, already falling into disrepair after a few weeks of neglect.

noun | empty or hollow structures

noun | hard protective covers of seeds, eggs, or mollusks

verb | heavily attacks with weapons
