Question

1. this question has two parts. first, answer part a. then, answer part b. * 1 point part a which statement best expresses how the author uses the varying perspectives of the reader, georgia, and her parents to create humor in the passage? the reader knows that georgia throws a major tantrum to seek attention, but her parents can’t even hear her. the reader knows that georgia’s parents are trying to be helpful, but her parents are unaware of how their comments make her feel. georgia’s parents praise her work even though they don’t know what she is drawing, but the reader knows it is a portrait of her brother. georgia discovers that her parents knew what she had been drawing all along, but the reader knows they are just trying to make her feel better.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option for how the author creates humor via differing perspectives (reader, Georgia, parents).

• Option 1: Focuses on Georgia seeking attention, but parents not hearing—doesn’t highlight humor from perspective differences well.
• Option 2: About parents being unware of their comments’ impact—more about misunderstanding, not humor from perspective contrast.
• Option 3: Parents praise her work without knowing what she drew (they don’t know it’s a portrait of her brother), while the reader does. This contrast (reader’s knowledge vs. parents’ ignorance) creates humor.
• Option 4: Centers on Georgia discovering parents’ intent—less about perspective contrast for humor.

Answer:

The option "Georgia’s parents praise her work even though they don’t know what she is drawing, but the reader knows it is a portrait of her brother."
