Question

Read the excerpt from Story of My Life by Helen Keller. One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan put my big rag doll into my lap also, spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l" applied to both. Earlier in the day we had had a tussle over the words "m-u-g" and "w-a-t-e-r." Miss Sullivan had tried to impress it upon me that "m-u-g" is mug and that "w-a-t-e-r" is water, but I persisted in confounding the two. In despair she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity. I became impatient at her repeated attempts and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it upon the floor. I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet. Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate outburst. I had not loved the doll. In the still, dark world in which I lived there was no strong sentiment or tenderness. I felt my teacher sweep the fragments to one side of the hearth, and I had a sense of satisfaction that the cause of my discomfort was removed. Which detail from the excerpt is a minor detail that is not necessary in a summary of the excerpt? Miss Sullivan tried to teach Helen the word “doll.” Helen became frustrated when she did not understand. Helen threw the doll on the floor and broke it. Miss Sullivan swept up the pieces of the broken doll.

Answer 1

i think it would be D

Step-by-step explanation:

if the writer did not add in her cleaning that we would already think she did so.

Answer 2

The answer on Edg is D : Miss Sullivan swept up the pieces of the broken doll.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's not an important detail and it's pretty irrelevant to the theme of the excerpt. Therefore, it wouldn't be needed in a summary since it's a minor detail.

Hope I helped! :)

Have a nice day/night!
