13 mark for review

a another character says, \but it will take more than imagination to carry dorothy back to kansas, and im sure i dont know how it can be done.\

c the narrator says, \dorothy did not feel nearly so bad as you might think a little girl would who had been suddenly whisked away from her own country and set down in the midst of a strange land.\
d the narrator says, \toto looked up into dorothys face with his little black eyes and wagged his tail to show he knew what she meant.\

Explanation:

The claim is that Dorothy is not very bothered by some situations that others would find troubling. Option C directly addresses this by stating that Dorothy did not feel as bad as one might expect a little girl whisked away to a strange land to feel. Option A is about another character's concern for getting Dorothy back to Kansas, not Dorothy's own lack of being bothered. Option B is just a description of the physical state of the house (not moving, not dark) without relating to Dorothy's emotional state regarding being in an unfamiliar place. Option D is about Toto's reaction, not Dorothy's.

Answer:

C. the narrator says, "Dorothy did not feel nearly so bad as you might think a little girl would who had been suddenly whisked away from her own country and set down in the midst of a strange land."
