Question

read the passage. there are several questions about this passage. from what katy did 1 katys name was katy carr. she lived in the town of burnet, which wasnt a very big town, but was growing as fast as it knew how. the house she lived in stood on the edge of town. it was a large square house, white, with green blinds, and had a porch in front, over which roses and clematis made a thick bower. four tall locust trees shaded the gravel path which led to the front gate. on one side of the house was an orchard; on the other side were wood piles and barns and an ice - house. behind was a kitchen garden sloping to the south; and behind that a pasture with a brook in it, and butternut trees, and four cows—two red ones, a yellow one with sharp horns tipped with tin, and a dear little white one named daisy. 2 there were six of the carr children—four girls and two boys. katy, the oldest, was twelve years old; little phil, the youngest, was four, and the rest fitted in between. 3 dr. carr, their papa, was a dear, kind, busy man, who was away from home all day, and sometimes all night too, taking care of sick people.... 4 aunt izzie was a small woman, sharp - faced and thin, rather old - looking, and very neat and particular about everything. she meant to be kind to the children, but they puzzled her much, because they were not a bit like herself when she was a child. aunt izzie had been a gentle, tidy little thing, who loved to sit as curly locks did, sewing long seams in the parlor, and to have her head patted by older people, and be told that she was a good girl; whereas katy tore her dress every day, hated sewing, and didnt care a button about being called “good.” while clover and elsie shied off like restless ponies when anyone tried to pat their heads. it was very perplexing to aunt izzie, and she found it quite hard to forgive the children for being so “unaccountable.”... 5 then dr. carr was another person who worried her. he wished to have the children hardy and bold, and encouraged climbing and rough plays. in spite of which viewpoint do aunt izzie and the neighbors most likely share? 1. a goal of childhood is to play and enjoy life. 2. children should attempt to stay neat and tidy. 3. it is natural to seek adventure during childhood. 4. children need to develop their courage and strength.

Explanation:

Aunt Izzie is described as very neat and particular about everything. The passage shows her preference for children being tidy, as she was a gentle, tidy child herself and is perplexed by the Carr children's untidiness. There is no indication in the passage that she shares the other viewpoints about play - centered childhood, adventure - seeking, or developing courage and strength.

Answer:

1. Children should attempt to stay neat and tidy.
