Question

read the passage from \initiation\
and from that time on, initiations didnt bother millicent at all. she went gaily about lewiston square from store to store asking for broken crackers and mangoes, and she just laughed inside when people stared and then brightened, answering her crazy questions as if she were quite serious and really a person of consequence. so many people were shut up tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up, unfolding quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them. and really, you didnt have to belong to a club to feel related to other human beings
based on the indirect characterization, which is the most logical inference?
○ millicent is beginning to become unhinged from the initiations
○ millicent is beginning to question her decision to join the sorority
○ millicent is learning valuable information from the people she talks to.
○ millicent is learning how to manipulate people to get what she wants

Explanation:

1. The passage shows Millicent no longer cares about the sorority initiation tasks, laughs off stares, and realizes she does not need to join a club to feel connected to others.
2. This means she is starting to doubt her choice to join the sorority, rather than becoming unhinged, learning useful information from strangers, or manipulating people.

Answer:

B. Millicent is beginning to question her decision to join the sorority
