It describes how the visitor's arrival changes Amy's opinion of trading limes.
o It highlights how concerned Amy is with performing well on her school work
B

Answer 1

It should be B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It basically emphasizes on the fact that Miss March knows there is a good student, now we use elimantion with answer choices.

o It suggests that Amy's accomplishment has made her arrogant. ---> This is off-topic, this was never suggesting in any way of text

o It emphasizes the beautiful colors Amy used in her map drawings. --> Maybe, we'll come back, for it does describe that she seems to be a "prodigy"

o It describes how the visitor's arrival changes Amy's opinion of trading limes. ---> Amy's opinion never changed for she never showed up again in text

o It highlights how concerned Amy is with performing well on her school work --> It was never spoken of Amy being anxious.

Despite none of the answer choices being good, it should be B.
