Question 47 • GA-English Language Arts 8

Which quotation from Matilda by Roald Dahl shows Miss Honey's commitment to teaching?

Answer

"I myself," Miss Honey went on, "want to help you to learn as much as possible while you are in this class. That is because I know it will make things easier for you later on."

"What about something much harder, like two times four hundred and eighty-seven? Could you tell me that?"

"But of course multiplying by two is a lot easier than some of the bigger numbers. What about the other multiplication tables? Do you know any of those?"

"Don't worry, Lavender, you'll soon catch up," Miss Honey said, lying through her teeth.

Explanation

Choice A directly shows Miss Honey's dedication to helping her students learn as much as they can. She explains that she wants them to gain knowledge because it will make things easier for them later. The other quotations mainly ask questions about multiplication or reassure Lavender, rather than expressing a commitment to teaching.
