Question

based on the information in the passage, the reader can infer that aunt em
a. has no children of her own.
b. does not want dorothy in her house.
c. is very strict.
d. dislikes her husband.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to recall the context of Aunt Em from The Wizard of Oz. Aunt Em is Dorothy's aunt, and in the story, Aunt Em and Uncle Henry do not have children of their own, which is why they take care of Dorothy. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: "has no children of her own" matches the context of Aunt Em from the story, as she and Uncle Henry are childless and care for Dorothy.
• Option B: There is no indication that Aunt Em does not want Dorothy in her house; in fact, she cares for Dorothy.
• Option C: Aunt Em is portrayed as a kind and caring figure, not a strict one.
• Option D: There is no information suggesting Aunt Em dislikes her husband; their relationship is not portrayed negatively.

To solve this, we analyze the options using the context of The Wizard of Oz. Aunt Em and Uncle Henry are childless (they care for Dorothy), so Option A is correct. Other options (B, C, D) contradict the story's portrayal of Aunt Em.

Answer:

A. has no children of her own
