Question

look at the story again.

on the dining table underneath jadas favorite painting, the hot blueberry pie sat by itself. nobody had cut a piece. but near the crust, there was a small hole.

jada tugged on her detectives hat and pulled her clue notebook out of her shorts pocket. she leaned over to take a closer look with her magnifying glass.

her first clue? tiny blue footprints trailed across the tablecloth.

which picture best matches the main character?

Explanation:

The main character Jada is a detective - like figure using a magnifying glass and having a clue notebook. The middle picture shows a girl (presumably Jada) with a hat (detective's hat), near a pie (matching the story's blueberry pie) and with a small figure (possibly related to the clue of footprints), and also has blue footprints (matching the story's tiny blue footprints on the tablecloth). The first picture doesn't show the pie or the relevant clue elements well, and the third picture's setup doesn't match the detective - like actions and clues as well as the middle one.
