Select the correct text in the passage. In the short story "A Will of Her Own," Rosa only pretends to listen to her grandmother'

s words. Which line from the excerpt supports this statement?. Rosa was a Swedish girl. She had so often heard people say, "Rosa has a will of her own," that she began to think it rather a fine thing, and when people think it is rather a fine thing to be naughty, trouble is sure to follow. One beautiful summer day Rosa's mother said to her: "Put on your Sunday frock, Rosa, and take these eggs to your grandmother. You may stay to tea, and play a little; but you must be back by seven o'clock." This pleased Rosa, for she was not often sent alone to her grandmother's, although she lived quite near. Soon she was ready. She looked very smart in her scarlet petticoat, bright apron, and white blouse, and started off proudly with her little basket of eggs. Her grandmother was a beautiful old lady with gold spectacles and enormous white cap. She thanked Rosa for the eggs, gave her delicious tea with strawberries, cream, and cakes, and then said, "You can play in the garden until the bell rings. Only do not go near the river." "Thank you," said Rosa, meekly, and walked away. When she had shut the door, she gave her head a little toss and her shoulders a little shake, and said: "I only said Thank you,' not 'Yes, thank you,' for I mean to go near the river." There is nowhere else to play. Mother always lets me go by the river, so why should Grandmother forbid it?" bank Now, the stream where Rosa generally played was only a tributary, and was not nearly so deep and wide as the main river where she now was. Rosa stood on watching the great pine-trunks, which, in Sweden, are always floating down by the rivers to the sea. The woodmen cut the trees down, mark them, and let them float where they will, and the owners claim the logs when they reach the Baltic. Rosa and her brother Rolf used to jump on these trees sometimes when they struck near the shore, float down the stream a little way, and then jump off again. It was always a dangerous game for children to play, but much more dangerous on the large river than on the little tributary. help me​
