She missed them in the piercing cold, but the reindeer did not dare to stop. On he ran till he came to the bush with red berries. Then he set Gerda down and kissed her mouth, and great big tears ran down his cheeks, and then he ran back. There stood poor Gerda without shoes or gloves in the middle of the bitter cold of Finland.She ran on as fast as she could. A regiment of gigantic snowflakes came against her, but they melted when they touched her, and she went on with fresh courage.
Answer
A
She cries and does not want to go on.
B
She is happy to leave the reindeer behind.
C
She regrets having lost her boots and gloves.
D
She is determined to get to Kay despite the cold.
Explanation
Gerda keeps running even though she has no shoes or gloves and is in the bitter cold. The snowflakes melt when they touch her, and the passage says she goes on with “fresh courage.” This shows she is determined to reach Kay despite the cold; she does regret leaving her boots and gloves behind, but she does not let that stop her.
