Question

Suddenly a clear rippling little sound broke out near her and she turned around. She was standing a few feet from a young apple-tree, and the robin had flown on to one of its branches and had burst out into a scrap of a song. Ben Weatherstaff laugh outright.

“What did he do that for?” asked Mary

“He’s made up his mind to make friends with thee,” replied Ben. “Dang me if he hasn’t took a fancy to thee.”

“To me?” said Mary, and she moved toward the little tree softly and looked up.

Answer 2

A. “What did he do for that?” asked Mary.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the statement that best shows that Mary is beginning to change. At the beginning of the book, we learn that Mary is a selfish girl who cares about nothing besides her own interests and pleasures. She is spoiled and unlikeable. However, she changes slowly. The fact that Mary took an interest in the bird and that she is trying to learn from Ben both show that she is becoming less self-centered.
