Question

read the excerpt from \clara bartons childhood.\
with the patience of a much older, wiser nurse,
nothing was too hard for clara to do well and
quickly, if in any way it would make david more
comfortable. she remained by his side through many
new treatments and failed attempts. davids cure
finally came through a new treatment using a vapor
bath, and clara barton fulfilled her earliest
apprenticeship as a nurse.
how does the author best reveal that clara idolized her
brother?
○ by describing her as having \patience of a much
older, wiser nurse\
○ by describing actions such as
emained by his side
through many new treatments\
○ by describing actions such as \fulfilled her earliest
apprenticeship as a nurse\
○ by describing her as being able \to do well and
quickly\

Explanation:

Idolizing someone is shown through consistent, dedicated actions focused on that person. The option that describes Clara staying by David through difficult treatments directly demonstrates her devoted care, which reflects idolization. Other options focus on general traits or a later outcome, not the specific, sustained action tied to her brother.

Answer:

by describing actions such as "remained by his side through many new treatments"
