Question

What does Rachel's interaction with Mrs. Price and the sweater help her realize about herself by the end of the passage? A) She is generous. B) She is compassionate. C) She is materialistic. D) She is selfless.

Answer 1

Rachel's interactions in the passage give her a chance to understand her own characteristics, which appear to be strategic or practical, based on her reasoning about contributing like Samuel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interaction between Rachel and Mrs. Price with the sweater enlightens Rachel about her own identity and characteristics. While it's not explicitly mentioned whether Rachel's interaction with them leads her to realize she is generous, compassionate, materialistic, or selfless, Rachel's reasoning as mentioned in the text that, If Samuel does not contribute, then I would be a fool to contribute. However, if Samuel does contribute, then I can come out ahead by not contributing, might suggest she is quite strategic or practical. The way 'Douglass' describes a kind person also prompts us to consider if Rachel is kind too, although it's not directly linked to the precise question about Rachel's character.
