Read the passage from "All Summer in a Day."

"Will it be seven more years?"
"Yes. Seven."
Then one of them gave a little cry.
"Margot!"
"What?"
"She's still in the closet where we locked her."
"Margot."
They stood as if someone had driven them, like so many stakes, into the floor. They looked at each other and then looked away. They glanced out at the world that was raining now and raining and raining steadily. They could not meet each other's glances. Their faces were solemn and pale. They looked at their hands and feet, their faces down.
"Margot."

In what way does this passage help develop the theme: "Loss can change people"?

Question 17 options:

Having learned of the joy that the sun can bring, Margot's classmates will now feel the same sadness as Margot until the sun appears again.



Having experienced the loss of the sun, Margot's classmates now have empathy and better understand Margot's feelings.



Margot's classmates are afraid of what they will find when they open the door and regret the loss they have created.



Margot's classmates have now learned what is missing from their lives and no longer want to live on Venus.

Answer:<3

Answer: I believe the answer is A) New places can provide important lessons. Explanation: Choice A is the best answer. Emma Woodhouse’s life and family are discussed, including the marriage of her governess Miss Taylor who then moves out of Emma’s home. In line 74, Emma wonders how she is to “bear the change” of Miss Taylor’s departure, which indicates its significance.
