Question

Read the excerpt from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, "We haven't got Father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never," but each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was. Which statement correctly identifies a transition used in this excerpt and explains how it supports the reader?

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. The words "think of Father far away" indicate a shiftn in place and help the reader determine that the girls' father is in another location.
