Answer 1

The next day I had soccer after school, so Spencer had to go buy the plant alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above sentence gives no clue about Ruthie's feeling for Spencer. It simply stated that Spencer had to buy the plant alone because Ruthie was to play soccer. Ruthie's ill feeling can be seen in sentences such as;

1. Spencer almost never has a good idea, and

2. I rolled my eyes in scorn.

These and some other comments made by Ruthie reveal the negative way that Ruthie viewed Spencer.
