Question 46 • GA-English Language Arts 8

Which excerpt from Matilda is an implicit detail that best demonstrates Miss Honey's concern for all her students?

Answer
A
Their teacher was called Miss Honey, and she could not have been more than twenty-three or twenty-four.
B
She had a lovely pale oval madonna face with blue eyes and her hair was light-brown.
C
“Don’t worry, Lavender, you’ll soon catch up,” Miss Honey said, lying through her teeth.
D
She was considerably shaken by this exchange but took care not to show it.

Explanation

Miss Honey tells Lavender, “Don’t worry, you’ll soon catch up,” to reassure her, even though she is “lying through her teeth.” This suggests Miss Honey cares about her students’ confidence and feelings, rather than simply correcting or discouraging them. The other excerpts describe Miss Honey’s appearance or her own reaction, not her concern for a student.
