Question

“i doubt that,” chuckled rayann with a gleam in her eye. “anyway, you’re hanging with me tomorrow while everybody else is at the game, so get some rest.” the next morning, rayann swept into the living room, dressed in flowing kente clothing and clutching her sack bag. her beaded braids were replaced by bantu knots, and she wore shell earrings. rayann hustled carleen into the car, where carleen soon opened up to rayann about the musical and how unseen she often felt in her family. reread the underlined sentence on page 3. what does this sentence suggest about rayann? rayann is about to cry because she feels sorry for carleen. rayann knows that carleen’s parents have a surprise for her. rayann is about to ask carleen’s parents to talk to her. rayann believes that it is silly for carleen to be upset.

Explanation:

The underlined line shows Rayann chuckling with a "gleam in her eye" while dismissing Carleen's implied worry, then directing her to rest for their plans. This tone and action indicate she doesn't take Carleen's upset seriously, viewing it as silly. The other options don't match: there's no sign of her crying, knowing a parent surprise, or planning to ask Carleen's parents to talk to her.

Answer:

Rayann believes that it is silly for Carleen to be upset.
