What does paragraph 5 reveal about Paige?

A.she fears going out on the lake.
B.she wants to avoid her grandparents.
C.she prefers the outdoors to coming inside.
D.she wants to play with the neighborhood girls

Answer 1

B. She wants to avoid her grandparents.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Paige Hook's Last Regrets, she recounts how she was "made" to go fishing along with her brothers by her grandparents. She recounts how she "hated the boat", her grandparents' pride and joy. But despite her protests, she went along with them for the fishing trip.

Considering the way she tried to hide when the "white monster" came into their driveway, how she tried to find an excuse to not go, or how she seemed to lost fishing lines a lot, all seems to suggest that she did not want to go along with her grandparents for fishing. She also reveals "I liked riding in boats when they were going fast. I liked riding in boats that I could water-ski behind", thus confirming her disinterest in fishing.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
