Read the excerpt from "Clara Barton’s Childhood.”When she was eight years old, her father left his hill farm and moved down to the Learned house, a much bigger farm of three hundred acres, with the brook-like French river winding through its broad meadows, and three great barns standing in the lowlands between the hill and the house. Although her siblings remained to care for the smaller farm, Clara was not lonesome in the new home in the valley.
Answer
A
Clara was unhappy about the move.
B
The new farm was too large for the family.
C
The old hill farm was lacking a source of water.
D
Clara’s father was a successful farmer.
Explanation
The passage describes Clara’s father moving to a much bigger farm of 300 acres, with a river, broad meadows, and three large barns. These details suggest he was a successful farmer. The excerpt says Clara was not lonesome, so it does not support the claim that she was unhappy about the move.
