Question

In the final section of the novel, when summer arrives, Claudia recalls her mother telling her about a storm that allegedly blew away half their town in:

- A) Macon, Georgia
- B) Jackson, Mississippi
- C) Mobile, Alabama
- D) Charleston, South Carolina

Answer 1

Without specific context from the novel, it is not possible to accurately determine which town experienced the storm that Claudia recalls. The provided excerpts do not give a clear indication of the location.

Step-by-step explanation:

The final section of the novel hints at a memory of a storm that is significant enough to have allegedly blown away half of a town. This recollection by the character Claudia is in reference to a historical weather event in her past. To accurately determine the town referred to in the novel would need specific details from the text, as none of the excerpts provided above clearly indicate which location the novel suggests was affected by such a storm. Therefore, without additional context from the book, we cannot confidently provide an answer to which town, among the options given, experienced a storm that blew away half of it, whether it be Macon, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; Mobile, Alabama; or Charleston, South Carolina.
