Question

Read the excerpt from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. As I followed, Jeremy touched my arm timidly. "C-Cassie, you didn't have to do that. That—that ole Lillian Jean, she ain't worth it."

Answer 2

B. Cassie questions Jeremy’s actions because they do not make sense to her.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" is a novel written by Mildred D. Taylor that deals with racial inequalities in Mississippi during 1930s.

Cassie Logan, novel's protagonist, has an issue with Lillian Jean, a white girl.

After being humiliated by Lilllian's racist father, Cassie decides to act her revenge on her by pretending to be aware of her lower position in society and becoming friend with her.

Her friends are confused with this Cassie's unexpected change of hearts, unaware of her plan.

One of Cassie's friends tries to give her advice, probably seeing through her plan, but she seems confused by what he tried to tell her.
