Carrie felt the drag of desire for all that was new and pleasing in apparel for women. She noticed​ too, with a touch at the​ he

art, the fine ladies who elbowed and ignored her. They brushed past in utter disregard of her presence. They themselves were eagerly enlisted in the materials that the store contained. Carrie was not familiar with the appearance of her more fortunate sisters of the city. Neither had she before known the nature and appearance of the shop girls with whom she now compared poorly. Most of them were pretty with an air of independence and indifference that added a certain zest. Their clothes were​ neat, in many instances fine. Wherever she encountered the eye of one it was only to recognize in it a keen analysis of her own positiondashher individual shortcomings of dress and that shadow of manner which she thought must hang about her and make clear to all who and what she was. A flame of envy lighted in her heart. She realized in a dim way how much the city helddash​wealth, ​fashion, easedashevery adornment for women. She longed for dress and beauty with a whole heart.
Carrie​'s experience in the city shops makes her feel which of the​ following?

A.
envious
B.
excited
C.
angry
D.
hopeless

Passage A
The Tree
1. It was 390 feet tall. Nothing on earth could match it. It had stood as a slender sapling in the cool coastal​ air, perhaps moving slightly in a light​ breeze, on the very day Caesar​ (100 BCdash44 ​BC) finally decided to move against Britain. But all that happened a long way from the area that would be called California. Great leaders were born as the tree grew. And they died as the tree became stronger and taller. Wars came and​ went, as well as plagues and famine. There were great celebrations and deep mourning here and there over the earth. The tree lived through it all.

Passage B
One Solitary Life
2. He was born in an obscure​ village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure​ village, where he worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never had a family or owned a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never wrote a​ book, or held an office. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness.
3. While He was still a young​ man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends deserted Him. He was turned over to His​ enemies, and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was​ dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He haddashHis coat. When He was​ dead, He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave.
4. Nineteen centuries have come and​ gone, and today He is the central figure for much of the human race. All the armies that ever marched and all the navies that ever sailed and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever​ reigned, put​ together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as this open double quoteOne Solitary Life.close double quote

Answer:

II. With the smallest of hints, a fragile mind can deceive a person.

IV. A child's amusement can have a negative effect on others.

Explanation:

The story, "The Open Window" tells of Vera the niece of Mrs. Sappleton who was obsessed with lying and found pleasure from doing this. She told a false story of the death of Mr. Sappleton and his three in-laws to Mr. Framton who came visiting and who had a fragile mind because of the nervous disorder he suffered. On seeing the supposedly dead people coming back from the view offered by the open window, he fled from the house.

The story shows that what seems to be fun for children might have bad effects on others seeing that this man was not in a healthy mental state. It also shows that a fragile mind can deceive a person, because Mr. Frampton was easily carried away with Vera's lies because of his nervous breakdown.
