Question 9 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B

Read the excerpt from "The Revolt of Mother.”The boy combed assiduously."Sammy!”He turned, and showed a face like his father's under his smooth crest of hair. "Yes, I s'pose I did,” he said, reluctantly.

Answer
A
guess
B
recall
C
know
D
hope

Explanation

In this context, “I s’pose I did” means “I guess I did” or “I suppose I did.” The boy is reluctantly admitting that he combed his hair, so “guess” is the closest meaning. “Recall,” “know,” and “hope” do not fit the meaning of the phrase here.
