Question

Jordyn and Mariah experience conflict because they believe they have nothing in common. Select the sentence from Paragraph 4 that indicates that Mariah is not yet ready to publicize her friendship with Jordyn, despite enjoying her company.

I assumed Jordyn’s offer to introduce me to her world of sports was about as legitimate as her promise to finally read Harry Potter. So I was surprised when on our weekend off, she texted me to ask if I wanted to come roller-skating. I blew off book club to go, partly because I’d been so busy talking to Jordyn that I hadn’t actually finished the book. Skating was a pleasant surprise in that I didn’t break any bones. Less pleasant was the part where some of Jordyn’s “crew,” as she called them, showed up and seemed standoffish with me, like they wished I weren’t there. She made it less awkward by talking about camp and the cool things we’d done with the kids, but I’m still not sure her friends particularly enjoyed my presence. “Sad I had to miss book club—can’t wait until the next meeting,” I blogged.

Answer 1

The answer is: “Sad I had to miss book club—can’t wait until the next meeting,” I blogged.

I took the test and did OK on it

Step-by-step explanation:

It shows that Mariah is not ready to publicize because she blogs not that she had fun, but to appolagize for missing book club.

Answer 2

The sentence which indicates that Mariah is not yet ready to publicize her friendship withh Jordyn is the following:

Less pleasant was the part where some of Jordyn's "crew", as she called them, showed up and seemed standoffish with me, like they wished I weren't there.

This sentence shows that Mariah felt uncomfortable in front of Jordyn's friends and in this way she realized that she wasn't ready to let people know about her friendship with Jordyn yet. Publicizing their friendship was unexpected and unplanned as Jordyn's friends appeared uninvited and this situation made Mariah feel unwanted.
