Question

read the excerpt from dwight okitas \in response to executive order 9066\.
i didnt know what to say.
i gave her a packet of tomato seeds
and asked her to plant them for me, told her
when the first tomato ripened
shed miss me.

the narrator assumes that she will

see denise again.
die at the camp.
be gone for a long time.
not be able to plant tomatoes.

Explanation:

The narrator gives tomato seeds to someone and says when the first tomato ripens, that person will miss them. Tomatoes take weeks to months to grow and ripen, so this implies the narrator expects to be away long enough for the plant to mature and produce fruit. The other options are not supported: there's no indication of seeing Denise again, dying at the camp, or inability to plant tomatoes.

Answer:

be gone for a long time.
