MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Based on the following description of Dee, which inference can you make about her? “She used to read to us without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks’ habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice.”

She knew how important it was to educate her mother and sister.

The stories she told were meant to frighten her family and keep them awake at night.

Dee found many ways to show her mother and sister that she was smarter than they were.

Because she could read so well, Dee probably would make a fine teacher.

Which inference can you make about Maggie from the following description? “‘How do I look, Mama?’ Maggie says, showing just enough of her thin body enveloped in pink skirt and red blouse for me to know she’s there, almost hidden by the door.”

Being unsure of herself, Maggie needed her mother to tell her she looked nice.

No matter what she wore, Maggie always wanted her mother to compliment her.

Because Maggie was small and thin, she liked to wear bright colors to stand out.

The door was so heavy that Maggie could not open it herself.
