Question

it must be college, i thought to myself. how was ruby feeling when she arrived at william frantz on her first day? she was calm because she thought the noisy crowd was part of a carnival. she was afraid when she heard people shouting and saw police everywhere. she was upset that the marshals were blocking her view of all the faces. she was proud that she would be attending college at such a young age.

Explanation:

This refers to Ruby Bridges' experience on her first day at the all-white William Frantz Elementary School. Historical accounts note she was a young child who initially misinterpreted the chaotic, noisy crowd (protesters) and heavy police presence as a carnival, keeping her calm. The other options do not align with the documented details of her arrival.

Answer:

A. She was calm because she thought the noisy crowd was part of a carnival.
