Explanation:

Analyze Pearl's dialogue

Pearl asks: "Well? What are you doing here when there's fighting to be done? Won't they let a German boy into the army, Heinrich? That is your name isn't? Heinrich?"

Evaluate the options based on the text

• Pearl's tone is questioning and suspicious, focusing on his German identity ("German boy", "Heinrich") and why he is not fighting.
• This directly shows suspicion and lack of trust toward him due to his German background.
• Therefore, the dialogue reveals that she does not trust Henry because he is German.

Answer:

• She does not like to see young men in the army.
• She does not trust Henry because he is German. (Correct answer)
• She is patient and welcoming to strangers.
• She hopes to be friends with Henry.
