Read the excerpt from "Home Front Diary."Jimmy Simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. He asked me if I would write to him, and I said I would. I told him that I've been writing to my Uncle Arthur and Susan's cousin John for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent I had some advice about all the censorship. "Don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," I said. "In my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations!” Well, he belly laughed over that one.
Answer
A
The author has been to war and she can give Jimmy advice.
B
Jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the author’s advice.
C
The author has experience writing to soldiers but Jimmy does not.
D
Jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.
Explanation
The author says she has been writing to her uncle and Susan’s cousin for about a year and calls herself an experienced correspondent. Jimmy has just enlisted and asks her for advice about writing to soldiers under censorship. This supports the idea that the author has experience writing to soldiers, while Jimmy does not yet have that experience.
