Question 13 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

If a student wants to write about the lesson that Greg learns in “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” that causes him to change, he or she should

Answer
A
paraphrase the conversation that Greg has with his father at the beginning of the story.
B
summarize what happens when Greg and Lemon Brown defend themselves against the thugs.
C
paraphrase the conversation that Greg has with Lemon Brown about his treasure.
D
summarize what happens when Greg returns home to his father at the end of the story.

Explanation

Greg’s understanding changes when Lemon Brown explains that his treasure is not valuable money, but the memories and love connected to his family. Paraphrasing their conversation about the treasure would best show the lesson Greg learns. The conversation with his father at the beginning establishes the conflict, while the other events show what happens rather than directly explaining that lesson.
