Question

Which quotation from the text best shapes the central idea that although Sydney is afraid, she maintains her composure and makes sure her family is safe?
"Sydney considered what she might have gathered: her soccer jersey, her laptop, or her favorite novel."


"She let out the breath she hadn’t realized she was holding as the terrible truth sank in: somewhere nearby there was a tornado."


"Sydney saw the panic and tears in her sister’s eyes as she gave her a hug and directed her to the basement stairs."

"She was torn between watching the driveway for her mom and going upstairs to check on Sophie."

Answer 1

"Sydney saw the panic and tears in her sister's eyes as she gave her a hug and directed her to the basement stairs," this is because she was caring and showed concern and comfort for her sister and was keeping her safe by directing her to the basement although she had felt the same fear as her sister did.
