Narrative Elements in "How I Learned English" — Unit test

Question 9 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Which excerpt from “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” best reveals that Lemon Brown has grown to trust Greg?

Answer

"What you doing here? How come you didn’t go on home when the rain come?"

"Best you stay awhile till the coast is clear. I'm heading out west tomorrow, out to east St. Louis."

"Didn't I tell you every man got a treasure?" Lemon Brown said. "You want to see mine?"

"I used to travel around and make money to feed my wife and Jesse – that's my boy's name. Used to feed them good, too."

Explanation

Lemon Brown’s offer to show Greg his treasure reveals that he trusts him enough to share something personal and valuable. The line, “You want to see mine?” invites Greg into a private part of Lemon’s life. The other excerpts show Lemon questioning Greg, offering him shelter, or telling him about his past, but they do not show that trust as clearly.
