Question

select the best evidence to support the statement \mr. darcy does not reciprocate the feelings that caroline has for him.\ there may be more than one correct choice. caroline bingleys attention was quite as much engaged in watching mr. darcys progress through his book, as in reading her own; and she was perpetually either making some inquiry, or looking at his page. she could not win him, however, to any conversation; he merely answered her question, and read on. at length, quite exhausted by the attempt to be amused with her own book, which she had only chosen because it was the second volume of his, she gave a great yawn and said, \how pleasant it is to spend an evening in this way! i declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! how much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! when i have a house of my own, i shall be miserable if i have not an excellent library.\ adapted from jane austen, pride and prejudice

Explanation:

The evidence needs to show Mr. Darcy does not return Caroline's romantic interest. The key detail is his disengagement from her attempts to interact, as he only answers her questions briefly and immediately returns to reading, refusing to engage in real conversation.

Answer:

"He merely answered her question, and read on."
