Answer 2

Answer: Miss Sullivan swept up the pieces of the broken doll.

Step-by-step explanation:

Miss Sullivan sweeping up pieces of the broken doll does not add much to the story the excerpt tells.

The story being told is of Helen and her impatience towards learning such that she can be destructive if she doesn't understand what she is being taught. Miss Sullivan sweeping the broken pieces does not add to this story so is a minor detail.
