My sister and I were looking for a snack. Way in the back of the refrigerator, I spotted two of our favorite yogurts. Perfect! W

hen I pulled them out, I noticed the wrapper edges were frayed. It looked like they may have been there a while, and one of the containers was smashed in. My sister didn’t care and was already running for a spoon. “Careful,” I said, “Where there is smoke there’s fire. These yogurts look kind of funny. And I can’t even read the expiration date.”
“You just want them for yourself,” she said, as she ripped off the wrapper. “Yikes!” she yelled, and we both held our noses.

What is the meaning of the adage in the paragraph?

A.If something looks wrong, then it probably is wrong.

B.Greediness is an unattractive quality.

C.Pay attention to the advice of those who know better.

D.It is not wise to make hasty decisions.

When readers come across implied textual evidence, they have to _____. Select all that apply.
weeeeeb [17]

Implied (or implicit) textual evidence is suggested but not directly stated.  When a reader comes across implied textual evidence, they have to:

put together details in the text to draw a conclusion and make educated guesses.  

Reading between the lines is very vague, but you do have to infer (or draw a conclusion) with this technique.  

Finding direct statements in the text that leave no room for doubt is explicit evidence (directly stated).  This is the only one I would not mark.
