Question

Quote: Ruth "Oh, no he ain't going to be getting up no earlier no such thing! ...is supposed to be his bedroom after ten o'clock at night"

a) Ruth is expressing concern about someone waking up early
b) Ruth is discussing a bedtime rule
c) Ruth is complaining about someone staying up late
d) Ruth is sharing her morning routine

Answer 1

Ruth is discussing a specific expectation for someone to be in their bedroom after a certain time, indicating a bedtime rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt from Ruth expresses a clear concern about someone's bedtime and adherence to nighttime rules. The statement "...is supposed to be his bedroom after ten o'clock at night" suggests that the character is asserting a specific rule or expectation about when someone should be in their bedroom, which implies a bedtime rule.

This does not indicate a routine or complaint about staying up late; rather, it's addressing a standard that's expected to be followed.
