Question

Read the excerpt from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.

Alice didn't like this idea at all: so, to change the subject, she asked "Does she ever come out here?”

"I daresay you'll see her soon,” said the Rose. "She's one of the thorn kind.”

"Where does she wear the thorns?” Alice asked with some curiosity.

"Why all round her head, of course,” the Rose replied. "I was wondering YOU hadn't got some too. I thought it was the regular rule.”

"She's coming!” cried the Larkspur. "I hear her footstep, thump, thump, thump, along the gravel-walk!”

Which detail from the passage allows the reader to predict that the arriving character is frightening?

“Does she ever come out here?”
“She's one of the thorn kind”
“I was wondering YOU hadn't got some too.”
“She's coming!” cried the Larkspur.
