Question 2

Part B

“‘But I’m glad it’s not rainy today because it’s easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day.’”


“Anne could evidently be smart to some purpose for she was down-stairs in ten minutes’ time, with her clothes neatly on, her hair brushed and braided, her face washed, and a comfortable consciousness pervading her soul that she had fulfilled all Marilla’s requirements.”


“Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural.”

Answer 2

Part A:

D. Imagination can be more appealing than dealing with reality

Part B: “This made Marilla more nervous than ever; she had an uncomfortable feeling that while this odd child’s body might be there at the table her spirit was far away in some remote airy cloudland, borne aloft on the wings of imagination.”

Step-by-step explanation:

The way Anne speaks and handles certain situations should be enough to convince you that she has a more vivid imagination than most people. One example is the poetic tone with which she speaks about love. Anne of Green Gables never really talked to Marilla and Mathew. She was always in her imagination, which she found very appealing. She didn't say anything to her foster mom and dad when she returned from the orphanage. She was constantly lost in her imagination. The correct answer is D. Imagination can be more appealing than dealing with reality.
