Exploring Cultural Identity through Language — Unit test
Question 8 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 IC
Read the passage from "The Book of Martha.”She stood up and looked down at him. "Is it what I should do? Will it work? Please tell me.""I truly don't know. I don't want to know. I want to watch it all unfold. I've used dreams before, you know, but not like this."His pleasure was so obvious that she almost took the whole idea back. He seemed able to be amused by terrible things. "Let me think about this," she said. "Can I be by myself for a while?"God nodded. "Speak aloud to me when you want to talk. I'll come to you."
Answer
A
She is afraid to tell God that she does not want to help him.
B
She wants to decide for herself if altering dreams is the right solution.
C
She wants God to leave to go look for other people to help her.
D
She has decided not to help and just wants God to disappear for good.
Explanation
Martha asks whether the plan is something she should do and whether it will work, then asks for time alone to think. This shows she has not yet decided and wants to judge for herself whether altering dreams is the right solution. The passage does not say she has refused to help or wants God gone.
