New Beginnings: Characters in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
Question 3 • * SY2025-26 - 1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 Sem 1 CR
Read the excerpt from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.When we were alone, [Lillian Jean] confided her secrets to me: the boy she had passionately loved for the past year and the things she had done to attract his attention (with no success, I might add); the secrets of the girls she couldn't stand as well as those she could; and even a tidbit or two about her elder brothers' romantic adventures. All I had to do to prime the gossip pump was smile nicely and whisper a "Miz Lillian Jean" every now and then.
Answer
A
She believes Cassie is trustworthy.
B
She earns Cassie's respect.
C
She influences Cassie’s opinions.
D
She teaches Cassie how to attract boys.
Explanation
Lillian Jean freely shares personal secrets with Cassie, including her feelings about a boy and gossip about other girls and her brothers. This suggests she trusts Cassie to listen and keep those confidences. The excerpt does not show her earning Cassie’s respect, changing Cassie’s opinions, or teaching Cassie how to attract boys.
