Question

choose the sentence in this paragraph that describes the change everest saw in his mother’s face.

i expected her to yell, to dump the box dramatically in the trash, to threaten me, to punish me, but she didn’t. she just kept staring at me. she didn’t look all that different from the way she did in the old photos. she was still thin, with long brown hair, but something about her face made her look older: a sadness or seriousness that wasn’t there back then.

Explanation:

We need to find the sentence that describes the change in Everest's mother's face. The relevant sentence should focus on the facial change. Looking at the paragraph, the sentence "She was still thin, with long brown hair, but something about her face made her look older: a sadness or seriousness that wasn't there back then." describes the change as her face now has a sadness or seriousness (making her look older) that wasn't present before.

Answer:

She was still thin, with long brown hair, but something about her face made her look older: a sadness or seriousness that wasn't there back then.
