Question 7 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Which excerpt from “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” reveals a change in the relationship between Lemon Brown and the neighborhood thugs?

Answer
A
“They’s bad men,” Lemon Brown whispered. His breath was warm against Greg’s skin.
B
“We don’t want to have to come in and hurt you, old man, but we don’t mind if we have to.”
C
[T]he light moved away from Lemon Brown, but not before Greg saw him hurl his body down the stairs at the men who had come to take his treasure.
D
Greg felt Lemon Brown’s hand first lying on his shoulder, then probing down his arm until he finally took Greg’s hand into his own as they crouched in the darkness.

Explanation

At first, Lemon Brown is hiding from the thugs and warning Greg that they are dangerous. In choice C, he stops hiding and hurls himself down the stairs at them to protect his treasure, showing a change from fearful avoidance to direct resistance. The other excerpts show warnings, threats, or Lemon Brown comforting Greg rather than confronting the thugs.
