Explanation:

To solve this, we need to know the answer to Question 5 (not provided here). However, typically, such questions involve analyzing text details for support. Since the problem is about text analysis (reading quiz), and without Question 5's context, we assume a common scenario. But if we assume Question 5 was about a character's appearance or a scene, option B describes a sock bunched like a carnation (a visual detail), C describes leg whiteness (physical detail), A is about a truck's location, D is a quote about kids. If Question 5 was about a character's physical trait, C or B. But since we lack Question 5, we can't be sure, but if we assume a common reading question (e.g., about a character's description), C describes a physical detail (whitest legs) which is a strong support. But this is speculative. However, given the options, if we assume the need for a detail supporting a description, C is a descriptive detail. But without Question 5, this is limited.

Answer:

(Note: Since Question 5 is not provided, this is speculative. If we assume a typical reading question about character description, the answer could be C. "He had the whitest legs I’d ever seen on a Mexican. Whiter than even my dad’s." But this depends on Question 5's context. If you provide Question 5, a more accurate answer can be given.)
