Read the excerpt from Wonder by R. J. Palacio.
"Such a pleasure to meet you, August," she said, holding out her hand for me to shake.
"Hi," I said quietly, giving her my hand, but I didn't want to look at her face, so I kept staring at her glasses, which hung from a chain around her neck.
"Wow, what a firm grip!" said Mrs. Garcia. Her hand was really warm.
Which inference correctly identifies how August and Mrs. Garcia are feeling?
