PLEASE HELP ME IT'S DUE TODAY. The Mysterious Box "This is the last box," Samuel called as he entered the foyer of his new home.

He carried the heavy box down the hallway to the kitchen where he found his mother, father, and sister unpacking various gadgets. Samuel's family had sold their previous home and moved into this old Victorian–style house so his father could work at the local hospital. Samuel didn't relish the idea of moving at first, but now he thought this might not be such a bad place to call home. Additionally, school didn't start for another month, so Samuel and his sister, Catherine, would have time to explore their new neighborhood and meet other kids. After Samuel placed the cardboard box on the kitchen counter, his mother rushed over and started inspecting it. "This box contains your great–grandmother's wedding china," Mom explained as she opened it. "These dishes are very old and fragile, so I hope they survived the move. "While his mother carefully examined each piece of china, Samuel asked his father what needed to be accomplished next. "Well, you and Catherine can take the boxes of winter clothes up to the attic after lunch," Dad said as he put spices and canned goods away in the pantry. "We'll also need to see if the previous owners left anything behind and clear it out. "Catherine let out a groan at the thought of spending the afternoon cleaning the attic. "Come on, Catherine," Samuel said with a smile. "Clearing out the attic might be fun! You never know what treasures might be hidden in this old house. Catherine replied, "You've got your head in the clouds if you think we'll discover hidden treasures in this place. I think we're more likely to find a bunch of clutter. "After lunch, Samuel and Catherine hauled several boxes to one of the guest rooms, where they could access the stairs to the attic. The attic was hot, and Catherine immediately felt like leaving the cramped space. They deposited the boxes in one corner of the large attic and then looked around to see what had been left behind. Catherine let out a dramatic sigh when she reached the opposite end of the attic where several cardboard boxes were piled against the wall. Unfortunately, they would need to go through them all to see what was inside. Samuel found a box of old books that were in good condition and could be taken to the local library. Catherine's mood improved immensely after finding a trunk filled with outdated clothes. Samuel could not keep a straight face when he saw her donning a hideous floral scarf and an enormous feathered hat. The clothes were spotless, so Catherine decided to donate them to the high school's drama department.
How does the author's use of the word "treasure" help the reader understand the characters' feelings about the contents of the mysterious box?
A. It shows that Samuel thought the box contained actual expensive treasure.
B. It shows that the old photographs and letters in the box were priceless possessions to Ms. Reynolds.
C. It explains that Samuel and Catherine returned a box worth a lot of money.
D. It shows that Ms. Reynolds offered a cash reward to Samuel and Catherine for returning such a valuable possession.

Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper."
Phoenix [80]

"The Yellow Wallpaper" is short story that was written by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman and it was published in 1982. The main purpose of this story was to expose the way that women were viewed and treated during the 19th century, especially when it came to mental and physical health issues. Written in the first person, the story is related in a series of journal entries, in which the main character, whose name we do not learn, tells of the circumstances that surround her when her husband, John decides to move them somehwere where he thinks his wife, the narrator, will be able to be cured from what he terms: temporary nervous depression. So they move to a mansion with Jennie, John´s sister, and settle into a room that had once been a nursery with yellow wallpaper that has been badly scratched. As time passes, the narrator focuses on the wallpaper more and more, until she begins seeing the form of a woman in there. In the end, John comes home one day and after unlocking the door to the room, finds his wife crouched against it, circling it and when she sees him she tells him that she has finally been able to break free despite him and Jane. John passes out and the narrator continues circling the walls without a care. In this excerpt of the story, the narrator is: B: she feels an overwhelming responsibility to meet society´s expectations, because, through the words she uses and the expression, the narrator shows how much shame she feels that her situation, her condition, prevents her from doing what socially she should be doing, which is becoming a support for her husband.
