in chapter 18, sol agrees to sign irwin’s petition, but she refuses to testify at bruno’s trial. why won’t sol testify on behalf of bruno?
a she believes bruno should be expelled for what he did to jack.
b she is afraid of what the attention could mean for her status as a student at orangeville.
c she is too busy working at wallen’s and does not want to be bothered by the trial.
d she is afraid that she will say the wrong thing and get bruno in more trouble.

Explanation:

To determine why Sol won't testify, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The question is about why she refuses to testify, not her belief on expulsion, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: There's no mention of her status as a student being affected by attention, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: The reason for not testifying isn't about being busy at work and not wanting to be bothered, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: The fear of saying the wrong thing and getting Bruno in more trouble aligns with a common narrative reason for refusing to testify (avoiding worsening the situation).

Answer:

D. She is afraid that she will say the wrong thing and get Bruno in more trouble.
