Question

FIRST PERSON TO GET IT CORRECTLY GETS BRAINLIEST!!! BEING SERIOUS AND NOT LYING I ACTUALLY AM MARKING BRAINLIEST!!! WORTH 10 POINTS!!!
Marshall is revising a narrative about a detective attempting to solve a series of “catnappings.” Read this portion of his draft.

Sgt. Summers stared at a map that showed the locations of the homes from which the animals had been taken. They seemed to form a rough circle, except for one that was almost in the center of all the others. That seemed odd. The person who lived in the house was Betsy Primer. She couldn’t have anything to do with the missing cats. Or could she?

Which detail could Marshall add to this paragraph that would be relevant to the story?

A. The missing cats were all ages and breeds.
B. Betsy was a sweet woman who loved animals.
C. Sgt. Summers had worked on a similar case years before.
D. Sgt. Summers hoped to solve this case soon, since he had other cases he needed to attend to.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Betsy was a sweet woman who loved animals.

Explanation:

The other answers are trivial details and are irrelevant to the story. Whether the missing cats were very different or all similar, whether or not Sgt. Summers had worked on a similar case or not, and Sgt. Summers having other cases to attend to are not very important to the narrative. However, Betsy's love of animals and sweet character are facts that could help Sgt. Summers and the reader to solve the mystery. Betsy's love of animals makes Sgt. Summers doubt she is guilty of stealing the cats at first, until he realizes that because she loves animals so much, she might have been motivated to take them all to her house.

Here is the last section of the paragraph with that sentence added in:

The person who lived in the house was Betsy Primer. Betsy was a sweet woman who loved animals. She couldn’t have anything to do with the missing cats. Or could she?
