You know the saying actions speak louder than words. That is a easy way to understand that words spoken carry more weight than just writing something. Words spoke are a more genuine expression from the heart than just writing something.
The answer would be C., the sentences show that Amy feels absolutely dreadful when she lost Sharon’s pen. Sentence 1 shows the sorrow that Amy had, the weight upon her chest, when she realized she’d lost an object dear to her friend. Sentence 4 shows that Amy’s reaction to her own losing of the pen was incredulous, she could not grasp the fact that she lost the pen!!! She could not believe it. Sentence 6 shows that Amy, after thinking about the situation excessively, came to the conclusion that if she did not confess about the loss of the pen, she would not be able to function. All of these sentences support the statement that Amy felt horrible about losing the pen.
B would NOT be the correct answer, although I almost went with that (luckily I read the situation a few times before submitting my response). We know that Amy does feel bad, and maybe she is nervous about what Sharon will do, you and I probably would be as well, but the passage does not support that claim. The passage does not say anything about Amy being scared of what Sharon will say. The passage only focuses on how Amy feels and what she has to do to make things right.
I hope this helped and I hope Sharon finds her pen. :)
