Question 1 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

What evidence from The Land, Part 1 best supports the claim that Edna Thomas is concerned for Mitchell’s safety?

Answer
A
"Mitchell?" questioned Miz Thomas. "Well, suh, he's out in them woods yonder choppin' wood for the fire."
B
I saw Miz Thomas frown, and young as I was, I knew she was worried
C
"Edna," said Hammond as Mitchell's mother stood in her dark doorway, "where's Willie?"
D
That very next morning Robert and I, sitting behind Hammond and George on their bays, went over to the patch of ground Mitchell's family tended.

Explanation

The strongest evidence is the narrator’s direct observation that Miz Thomas frowned and that he knew she was worried. The question asks specifically about her concern for Mitchell’s safety, and this statement directly shows her worry. Choice A only says where Mitchell is, while C and D do not show Edna’s concern.
