Hi! In, "A White Heron," Orne Jewett does an excellent job in punctuation and describing. Hope I helped, and could I possibly get brainliest?
I would go with C. Because the narrator is talking. The narrator want to have a lesson badly on water-reading. But Mr. Bixby thinks the narrator is far to advanced for it and will not teach her it. So Mr. Bixby is being stubborn and will not give the lesson.
I believe it is C. refuting a counterclaim.
