Question

Sacha was late coming home from school. Her mother had wanted her

to be home by 3:30, but a friend had asked her to stop by to play
briefly. Then she had wandered to the store to buy a bottle of water,
Now it was 4 p.m. Her mother answered the apartment door. She
looked worried
Sacha was in trouble now. She thought for a second, "Um, I was...!
was chased by Jamie down the street! I was so scared, I had to hide."
Her mother's face softened, "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry, That's it, I'm
calling his mother right now"
Which statement best describes how a character's response to conflict
develops the plot?

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Sacha lied to her mother to avoid getting in trouble, and her mother acts against Jamie by calling his mother. In the passage, it is never stated that Sacha is annoyed her mother's rules, nor is it stated that her mother is angry at Jamie. Additionally, viewing the mother's rule as an "unreasonable curfew" is an opinion that is irrelevant to the passage, and there is never a mention of the mother lacking trust in her daughter. Therefore, the only answer that makes sense and is applicable to the text would be C.
