identify the choice that best answers the question.

in \mrs. vargas and the dead naturalist,\ what important item is mrs. vargas’s first visitor carrying when he arrives?

a. a case full of money

b. a scientist’s lab coat

c. a big piece of luggage

d. a portfolio of drawings

Explanation:

To answer this, we recall the story "Mrs. Vargas and the Dead Naturalist". The first visitor to Mrs. Vargas carries a big piece of luggage (which contains the dead naturalist's body, though the question focuses on the item carried). Option A is incorrect as money isn't the key item. Option B (lab coat) and D (portfolio of drawings) don't match the story's details. So the correct choice is C.

Answer:

C. a big piece of luggage
