Question 6 • CMS 2025-2026 English I CREDIT RECOVERY
Read the passage from “Initiation.” Millicent and Bev took a bus ahead of the rest of the girls; they had to stand up on the way to Lewiston Square. Bev seemed very cross about something. Finally she said, "You were talking with Herb Dalton at lunch today." "No," Millicent said honestly. "Well, I saw you smile at him. That's practically as bad as talking. Remember not to do it again." Which conclusion is best supported by the passage?
Answer
A
Millicent is afraid of Bev.
B
Bev is jealous of Millicent.
C
Millicent feels confused by Bev.
D
Bev wants to embarrass Millicent.
Explanation
Bev is cross because Millicent smiled at Herb Dalton, and she tells Millicent not to do it again. Her reaction suggests she is jealous that Millicent showed interest in Herb. The passage does not show Millicent being afraid or confused, and Bev’s main motive does not appear to be embarrassing her.
