Question

note: after reading a newspaper article about the death of rose standish, the narrator remembers how, years before, he and his friend billy collected sea glass to sell to the strange, older woman who lived at the tip of hull peninsula in massachusetts. when billy came home the following week, i told him id promised to find some red sea glass for the old woman, but he said,
ed sea glass doesnt even exist.\ \thats because it can only be found during low tide at midnight,\ i said with false conviction. that night, we went to the beach later than id ever gone before, and it seemed unnaturally peaceful. we turned on our flashlights and walked down the beach slowly when i suddenly spotted a bright red glint at my feet. i bent to pick it up and held it to the light, exclaiming loudly, \ive got one!\ billy came running over, laughing.
oooo way!\ as i showed it to him, we were suddenly jolted by a mans growly shout in the darkness: \who goes there?\ frightened, we snuffed our flashlights, and billy spun around and sprinted toward home. i shoved the sea glass deep into my pocket and took off after him, twisting my ankle as i ran. it was a full three weeks later before i could ride my bike all the way out to the tip of the peninsula again. when billy and i knocked on the old womans door and called out,
ed sea glass!\ we heard her positively cackle with delight. the door opened, and her hand shot out. i dropped the red sea glass into her waiting palm, and she snapped it back inside. a few seconds later, she returned to the door with a jar of blue sea glass. thats when i first learned her name. \my name is rose standish,\ she said very properly. which sentence from the text relays the same emotion conveyed in paragraph 3? a. \thank you, rose standish,\ i stammered as her door closed in my face.\ (paragraph 10) b. \i dropped the red sea glass into her waiting palm, and she snapped it back inside.\ (paragraph 8) c. \that same afternoon, i took my blue sea glass to a jeweler, and thats when i learned that it was a very large sapphire.\ (paragraph 12) d. \frightened, we snuffed our flashlights, and billy spun around and sprinted toward home.\ (paragraph 6)

Brief Explanations

Paragraph 3 shows Rose Standish's excitement and joy when Billy came home with the red sea glass. Option A shows gratitude and a positive emotion similar to that in paragraph 3. Option B shows a negative action (dropping and snapping). Option C is about an action (taking the glass to a jeweler) without strong emotion. Option D shows fear ("frightened").

Answer:

A. "Thank you, Rose Standish," I stammered as her door closed in my face." (paragraph 10)
