Question 2
Part B

Which detail from the excerpt best supports the answer to Part A?


“When the meal was ended Anne came out of her reverie and offered to wash the dishes.”

“That was Matthew's way—take a whim into his head and cling to it with the most amazing silent persistency—a persistency ten times more potent and effectual in its very silence than if he had talked it out.”

“‘For pity’s sake hold your tongue,’ said Marilla. ‘You talk entirely too much for a little girl.’”

“Anne washed the dishes deftly enough, as Marilla who kept a sharp eye on the process, discerned. Later on she made her bed less successfully, for she had never learned the art of wrestling with a feather tick.”
