Question 5 • Common Core ELA 8 - ELA3008 B-IC

A student is writing a paragraph about "Broken Chain" that makes the point that Alfonso does not like the way he looks. What would be the best illustration of this point?

Answer
A
He sees his teeth as a “pile of wrecked cars.”
B
He “looks down at his shoes” when he talks to Sandra.
C
He studies his new haircut in the mirror.
D
He constantly compares himself to his brother.

Explanation

The image of Alfonso’s teeth as a “pile of wrecked cars” shows that he sees a flaw in his appearance and dislikes how it looks. Looking down at his shoes may suggest shyness, but it does not illustrate dissatisfaction with his looks as directly.
