A)brilliant
B) hearty
C)fragile
D)angry

Answer 1

The answer is C) Fragile. Emily is fragile because she is "A shell burned out by one fierce moment of fire." And had been crushed and broken in only one moment.

Answer 2

I would say that this excerpt helps us infer that Emily is fragile. The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to these lines, we can understand that Emily was, in fact, furious when the speaker met her, but this was not her attitude all the time. She was angry because of that "fierce moment of fire" she had to go through. Now, she was someone new, and we can see that when the speaker says: "Emily, of course, had changed". That means she was a fragile person, that that moment of fierce fire affected her in a bad way, it affected her feelings.
