Read the passage from "Girl.” . . . is it true that you sing benna in Sunday School?; always eat your food in such a way that it doesn’t turn someone else’s stomach; On Sundays, try to walk like a lady . . . don’t sing benna in Sunday school; you mustn’t speak to warf-rat boys, not even to give directions; don’t eat fruits on the street—flies will follow you; but I don’t sing benna on Sundays at all and never in Sunday school. How would the passage most likely change if Girl’s mother were the narrator?
Answer
A
She would share Girl’s point of view on interacting with boys.
B
She would explain why she is so concerned about Girl.
C
She would ignore Girl’s insistence that she doesn’t sing benna.
D
She would tell readers why she respects Girl’s decisions.
Explanation
The passage is mostly the mother’s rapid list of instructions and warnings, while Girl briefly objects that she does not sing benna in Sunday school. If the mother narrated, readers would hear her perspective and could learn why she is so concerned about how Girl behaves. The passage does not suggest that the mother agrees with Girl about interacting with boys or respects Girl’s decisions.
