SLATE ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS
4. In paragraph 60 the narrator describes Vashti's room as
"contain[ing] nothing" but being "in touch with all that
she cared for in The world." What does this description
reveal about her?

since it is asking for her reaction to elnora's trouble at school you can rule out any answers with a positive response (b). then you can rule out (d), this is because it does not show the mother's reaction but the daughter's response. that leaves you with two options (a) and (c), by looking at the options you can rule out (c) because it isn't referring back to elnora's issues at school.

the correct answers are:

c. “never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue.”

d. “‘it has never been heard,’ was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later.”

e. “this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke.”

he was looking for nothing because this question had no complete sentence.

yes, we appreciate these things!
