Question 3 • DBN LA 6-CR
“Reluctant” is academic vocabulary that means unwilling or hesitant. The sentence says the girl does not want to leave her home, so “The speaker of the poem is reluctant to leave her home” preserves the meaning while using more precise vocabulary. The other choices either use less formal wording or add the idea that she is being forced to leave.
