Explanation:

Analyze Audrey's reaction in the text

The text states that Audrey "was the youngest child there" and quotes her saying, "I didn't have any fear."

Analyze Wash's reaction in the text

The text states that Wash watched people willingly turn themselves over to the police and thought, "Wow, they must be crazy." It explains that "Experience had taught Wash that 'the police was vicious murderers.' He knew how much pain they could inflict on young black bodies—" which shows he believed it was unwise not to fear the police.

Evaluate the given options

• Option 1 accurately captures both reactions: Audrey was young but not afraid, while Wash thought it was unwise to not fear the police.
• Option 2 incorrectly claims Audrey knew she would find her girlfriend there (she expected to, but she wasn't there) and mischaracterizes Wash's specific thoughts about jail.
• Option 3 is incorrect because both were participating in or watching the movement, and there is no evidence they felt it was unimportant.
• Option 4 is incorrect as it is not supported by the text.
