Read the passage.I came home from school and hung my book bag up on the hook in the hallway. I could hear the news blaring. I walked into the living room and found my mother sitting in front of the small television. "Oh no,” I heard her say, over and over again, while a steady stream of tears rolled down her cheeks. "Not again,” she said. I walked over to the set to turn the volume down so I could ask her what had happened.
Answer
A
She is frustrated because the television is small, and she cannot see well.
B
She is crying because she is confused about what she is seeing on the television.
C
She is upset because the narrator has turned the volume down on the television.
D
She is emotional because the television makes the news feel more real for her.
Explanation
The passage shows the mother crying and repeating “Oh no” and “Not again” while listening to the news. These reactions suggest that the news is upsetting her. Nothing indicates that the small television, confusion, or the narrator turning down the volume is the cause; the best choice is that the news feels real and emotional to her.
