As we walked back down the valley, it became clear that we wouldn't make it home before

sunset. I suggested that we stop and eat what was left of lunch in our backpacks but Jamie
said there wasn't time. Earlier in the week we had lost track of time as well and found
ourselves in the same situation. We could have taken Rex with us, or let him out before we
left, but we were still getting used to him being a part of our lives.
The author implies that:
A: Jamie didn’t know her way around the valley.
B: They would get lost in the dark.
C: Rex was a new pet that needed to be let outside.
D: their backpacks were empty.

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamie seems to be quite naive about her surroundings. She loses track of time, forgets where she is, and doesn't exactly measure just how long she has been walking in a certain place. Her forgetting Rex just adds on to the fact that Jamie has no idea where she is.

Answer:

C. Rex was a new pet that needed to be let outside.

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Jamie didn’t know her way around the valley.

  • This is told by the narrative rather than Jamie.

B: They would get lost in the dark.

  • It doesn't say they would get lost.

D: their backpacks were empty.

  • It doesn't state the backpacks were empty it says what is left in their backpacks.
