Question

shan scans the sidewalk. “we’re going to be late if you’re planning on picking up every piece of litter—and besides, it’s not your problem.” what problem does savannah face at the beginning of the story? savannah is annoyed that shan is always running late. savannah is unhappy about litter in her neighborhood. savannah does not want her friend to help her clean. savannah does not like it when shan complains.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The quote shows Shan is worried about being late, not Savannah being annoyed about Shan's lateness. Eliminate.
• Option 2: The context (Shan saying picking up litter isn't Savannah's problem) implies Savannah wants to pick up litter (is unhappy about it in the neighborhood) and Shan is discouraging. This fits.
• Option 3: The quote has Shan discouraging Savannah from picking up litter, not Savannah not wanting help. Eliminate.
• Option 4: The quote is Shan complaining, not Savannah disliking Shan's complaints. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. Savannah is unhappy about litter in her neighborhood.
