Which excerpt from "Object Lesson, Part 2" would most likely cause reader uncertainty?

ryzh [129]

Answer:

Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled, "Object Lesson," which was written by Ellery Queen (a pseudonym).

The story centers on the character of Ellery, as he was called by Miss Carpenter to have a speech in class regarding "Notorious Criminals I Have Known." This came about when Miss Carpenter knew that three of his students in class were responsible for a juvenile crime she witnessed. However, on the day of the speech, Miss Carpenter noticed that someone stole her $7 inside her envelop.

As Ellery was searching the different places where the suspect might have placed the $7, "Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white." This causes uncertainty on the reader because it doesn't give a clear sign whether the money will be found or not.

Louise Carpenter's action shows that she is "anticipating to be let down." This means that she, somehow, figured out that Ellery won't be able to find the suspect and money because they only have a few minutes left (4 and 1/2 minutes, to be exact).

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer and Explanation: The statement "If you know your pappy did something, you know you can do something too." was made in a bid to show Greg that through hard work, anything in life can be accomplished. This is very significant to Greg because his father was already an accomplished postal worker. And by the statement, Lemon Brown means that his son Jesse was very proud that his father was a famous Blues player, and in relation to this also that he could do anything also that he set his mind to. That would be a way of sharing his successes with his son.
