Question

Which of the following is NOT something Connie does in "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?"

1) Takes Arnold Friend's hand
2) Grabs the phone
3) Realizes she will never see her mother again
4) Puts her hand on her heart as Arnold Friend told her to do

Answer 1

In the short story 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?' by Joyce Carol Oates, Connie does not take Arnold Friend's hand; rather, she grabs the phone, realizes she may never see her mother again, and places her hand on her heart as instructed by Arnold. Option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is NOT something Connie does in the short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" is that she takes Arnold Friend's hand. When Arnold Friend arrives at her house, Connie does grab the phone in a moment of fear, and she has the realization that she might never see her mother again during the encounter.

Also, under the intimidating influence of Arnold, she does put her hand on her heart as instructed. However, she does not willingly take Arnold's hand throughout the story, making option 1 the correct answer to the question.
