Final answer:

Margot's classmates felt resentful and avoided her after realizing that they had locked her in a closet during the rare appearance of the sun. This response is related to Ray Bradbury's 'All Summer in a Day'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage in question refers to Ray Bradbury's All Summer in a Day, where Margot's classmates lock her in a closet while the sun comes out on Venus, an event that happens only once every seven years. Margot, who has memories of the sun from Earth, is affected deeply by missing this event. The correct answer to how her classmates react when they realize she's been left in the closet is (D) They felt resentful and avoided her for the rest of the day. The sun's rare appearance made the children act impulsively, and once they realize the gravity of their actions, they must deal with the guilt and regret.
