D. People are more interested in Annie's oak barrel than in Annie herself.

Answer 1

D) People are more interested in Annie's oak barrel than in Annie herself.

Explanation:

Queen of the Falls by Chris Van Allsburg tells the true story of Annie Edson Taylor, the first person to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel in 1901. The book narrates Annie's daring adventure and the challenges she faced in her pursuit of fame and financial security.

Unfortunately, Annie's attempts to make money after her stunt do not work out as she hopes primarily because she finds that people are more interested in her barrel and the dramatic stunt itself than in her personal story or her presentations. Despite her daring achievement, she struggles to capitalize on her fame, and her efforts to share her experiences with the public do not bring the financial success she anticipated.
