Question and options
Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the question.
PASSAGE: Through the break between the trees, she looked into one of the lighted windows of the shop. She could see the cartons of biscuits neatly piled near the far wall. Against conscious wishes Cissy’s salivary glands started pumping fluid into her mouth. She felt her heart beating strongly from the top of her throat into the back of her mouth. “There is nobody,” she thought. “I can dash in and take a box and dash out again. I know it is sin but the Lord will not punish us if we are so hungry.”
PASSAGE: Through the break between the trees, she looked into one of the lighted windows of the shop. She could see the cartons of biscuits neatly piled near the far wall. Against conscious wishes Cissy’s salivary glands started pumping fluid into her mouth. She felt her heart beating strongly from the top of her throat into the back of her mouth. “There is nobody,” she thought. “I can dash in and take a box and dash out again. I know it is sin but the Lord will not punish us if we are so hungry.”
How was Cissy able to see the cartons of biscuits?
- From the flavor of biscuits in the room
- She saw an opened carton
- She was aided by a light in the room
- Because some biscuit cartons were damaged
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - She was aided by a light in the room
The passage says she "looked into one of the lighted windows of the shop", so it was the light inside that let her see the cartons piled against the far wall. Nothing is said about an opened or damaged carton, and the smell of biscuits could not let her see them.
