Question 9 • AISD ELAR 6 Summer Academy 2026

Which excerpt from "I'm Not Thirteen Yet" best helps the reader to imagine the events and understand the writer’s experiences?

Answer
A
I heard the toilet flush and scurried into an empty stall. Their giggles felt like needles.
B
I made friends, but not with Margaret.
C
However, one evening, Margaret and I wound up on the same team during a color war.
D
Richard Neeland had the ball.

Explanation

Choice A gives specific actions and sensory details: the narrator hears a toilet flush, hurries into a stall, and compares the girls’ giggles to needles. These details help readers picture what happened and understand that the narrator felt hurt and threatened. The other choices mainly state facts without creating as vivid a picture of the experience.
