Question

Read the excerpt from The Secret Garden. “I said I would never go back again—” she hesitated, knitting her brows—“but perhaps, just perhaps, I will go and see—if he wants me—in the morning. Perhaps he’ll try to throw his pillow at me again, but—I think—I’ll go.” How does this scene contribute to the development of the story? A)The conflict between Mary and Colin is established .B) Mary starts to spend time with Dickon in the garden. C) The relationship between Mary and Colin is introduced. D)Mary begins to think of other people instead of herself.

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is A. I haven't read The Secret Garden, but I believe that would be the best choice!

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the text said, " Perhaps he'll try to throw his pillow at me again..." I don't think it is C because it's not introducing. It may be D, but with this context, I wouldn't think so. With answer B, the person talking is not with anyone, as I can tell.
