Question

how does the incident in paragraph 6 determine jimmy’s actions? a it allowed jimmy to recognize bob as the wanted man, so jimmy had him arrested. b it helped jimmy realize that the waiting man was not bob, which made him leave the scene. c it made jimmy upset that bob did not recognize him, so jimmy decided to end the friendship. d it showed jimmy that bob was going to steal money from him, which made jimmy decide to arrest him.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the context of the story (likely "After Twenty Years"). In the story, Jimmy (a policeman) recognizes Bob as the wanted criminal from the incident in paragraph 6. Option A aligns with this: the incident let Jimmy identify Bob as the wanted man, leading to his arrest. Option B is wrong as Jimmy does recognize Bob. Option C is incorrect as the conflict is legal, not about friendship ending. Option D is wrong because the reason for arrest is Bob being wanted, not theft.

Answer:

A. It allowed Jimmy to recognize Bob as the wanted man, so Jimmy had him arrested.
