Answer:
2. Which of the following is NOT
a supporting idea included in
the “Mount Rushmore" passage?
Answer:
Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled, "Object Lesson," which was written by<em> Ellery Queen (a pseudonym). </em>
The story centers on the character of Ellery, as he was called by Miss Carpenter to have a speech in class regarding<em> "Notorious Criminals I Have Known." </em>This came about when Miss Carpenter knew that three of his students in class were responsible for a juvenile crime she witnessed. However, on the day of the speech, Miss Carpenter noticed that <u>someone stole her $7 inside her envelop.</u>
As Ellery was searching the different places where the suspect might have placed the $7, "<em>Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white." </em>This causes uncertainty on the reader because<u> it doesn't give a clear sign whether the money will be found or not</u>.
Louise Carpenter's action shows that she is <em>"anticipating to be let down."</em> This means that she, somehow, figured out that <u>Ellery won't be able to find the suspect and money because they only have a few minutes left</u> <em>(4 and 1/2 minutes, to be exact)</em>.<em> </em>

B. Fear
John was happy that he might meet Carolyn again after three years..but moving on further in to the short story..we notice that she accused him of being insensitive, even thoughtless! So, putting ourselves in his shoes...it's logical that he would feel just a bit of fear. How would she react? Would she view John the same, insensitive and thoughtless?
These are just my thoughts, but I know the answer is B.
