Question

Valid inferences must be supported by strong textual evidence. Reread lines 262-282 and draw conclusions about the changes in Lilia's character. Cite evidence about what inspired the changes.

Answer 1

Answer:

When reading these lines we can see that Lilian is very indifferent at the beginning of her interaction with Mr. Pizada. However, the contact between these two characters evolves, which makes Lilia feel a strong sympathy with Mr. Pizada and show compassion for him and his family.

Explanation:

This question is about "When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine," where we meet Mr. Pirzada who constantly attends Lilian's parents' house to dine and watch the news about the Indo-Pakistan war. Mr Pirzada is Pakistani and had to leave Pakistan to study, but he left his daughter and wife in Pakistan and is very concerned about how they are living during the war. At the beginning of the visits, Lilian was indifferent to him, but begins to understand the concern that afflicts him, which generates sympathy and compassion in her for him.
