Answer:
T. J. fools Stacey into giving him his new coat, because it will fit him better. Uncle Hammer is furious, and tells Stacey to let T. J. keep the coat. The day before Christmas, Papa returns from the railroads. That evening, everyone in the family, including L. T., gathers to tell stories. Eventually, L. T. tells the story of a previous Christmas, in 1876, when a gang of white men came to his house and killed his parents. The children are horrified, but Papa wants them to hear about their history. In the middle of the night, Cassie wakes to overhear the adults talking about the boycott of the Wallace store and of the need for someone to give the black community credit so they can shop in Vicksburg. They think of using the farm as collateral, but they don't want to lose their land.
The children are delighted to receive books for Christmas. Stacey and Cassie get books by Alexander Dumas and Christopher-John and Little Man get two volumes of Aesop's fables. The Averies join the Logans for Christmas dinner. Jeremy comes over and gives Stacey a whistle. Stacey doesn't know how to react, and after Jeremy leaves he asks Papa. Papa says there's nothing wrong with friendship, but that friendship with whites usually leads to trouble.

The story reads well up through sentence 5, but things get a bit confusing with sentence 6. What makes Renee blush? Is it really in response to her ringing the doorbell? Sentence 7, the answering of the door, should naturally follow sentence 5, the ringing of the bell. So where, then, should sentence 6 go? We learn in sentence 8 that Renee is the only person wearing a costume. If you consider what it is that makes Renee blush, it stands to reason that sentence 6 should follow sentence 8. Thus, the best answer here is B.
