Question

no additional details were added for this assignment.

she is used to going in and out of the house.

she is afraid of certain things on the island.

part b - points depend on a correct response in part a.

which evidence from the text best supports the inference in part a?

\fortunately for her, she had learned to hunt the marsh mice and grass sparrows for amusement.\

\the cat had always been so coddled and pampered by the children that she had had no need to forage for herself.\

\she could not understand the tight - closed shutters, or the blind, unresponding doors that would no longer open to her anxious appeal.\

\still and desolate in the bright sunshine and the tearing wind, the house frightened her\

Explanation:

To solve this, we first assume Part A's correct inference is "She is afraid of certain things on the island" (since the other option about being used to going in/out would not align with the fear - related evidence). Now we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Talks about hunting for amusement, which has nothing to do with fear or being used to house access.
• Option 2: Discusses being coddled, not related to fear of the island or house access issues.
• Option 3: Is about not understanding closed shutters/doors, related to access to the house, not fear of the island.
• Option 4: Says the house frightened her, which directly supports the inference that she is afraid of certain things (the house) on the island.

Answer:

The option "Still and desolate in the bright sunshine and the tearing wind, the house frightened her" (the last option in the list of Part B options)
