Question

Read the excerpt from Blanca Flor.

The Narrator. By this time, the fire had evaporated Blanca Flor's spit, and there was no answer. Don Ricardo knew that Blanca Flor was gone, and that she had run away with Juanito. He saddled his horse and galloped up the path to catch them before they escaped from his land.

Based on clues from the story, what is the best prediction a reader can make about the next scene?

Answer 1

A reader can make a prediction that indeed Blanca Flor had eloped with Juanito and Don Ricardo's attempts to stop them before they leave his land is futile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on clues from the excerpt so far, a reader can easily infer that Blanca Flor had carefully planned her actions for sometime before executing it because she probably knows how Don Ricardo would react when he found out she had run away with Juanito and made adequate preparations.
