Writing an Analysis of a Literary Character

Question 3 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

A student wants to use evidence from "The Treasure of Lemon Brown” to support the idea that Greg begins to feel more anxious and tense in the middle of the story. What would be the best evidence for the student to use?

Answer
A
paraphrased information from the story about how Greg responds to his father’s lectures
B
a quote from the story about how Greg reacts when the thugs enter the building
C
a summary of what Lemon Brown explains to Greg about the events in his life and his treasure
D
a quote from the story about what Greg sees when he first enters the building

Explanation

The best evidence should show Greg becoming more anxious and tense during the middle of the story. When the thugs enter the building, Greg faces an immediate threat, so a quote describing his reaction directly supports that idea. His response to his father’s lectures happens earlier, while the other choices focus on Lemon Brown’s story or Greg’s first impression of the building.
