Question

A deserted, waiting, empty street, and the courtroom was packed with people. A steaming summer night was no different from a winter morning.

In the excerpt above, Scout is evoking _____.

the burning of Miss Maudie's house
the filling of the tree with cement
the shooting of the rabid dog
the death of a mockingbird

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

In the excerpt above, Scout is evoking the shooting of the rabid dog.

When Calpurnia, the Finch’s cook and housekeeper, sees the rabid dog walking down the streets, she calls Atticus first and then Miss Eula May, the town telephone operator, to tell her to warn the neighbour to stay our of the street.

This is why the street was completely deserted when Attichus finally shot the mad dog and put him out of his misery.

Answer 2

Based on the given excerpt above which is taken from "To Kill a Mocking Bird", it shows the Scout is evoking the shooting of the rabid dog. This is the scene about the Mad Dog. The answer would be the third option. Hope this answer helps.
