when i was little, i had a dollhouse. the dollhouse was a special toy. it looked like a real house. but it was tiny! it had walls. it had a roof. it had windows. it had stairs. it even had a place to park a tiny toy car. i put tiny furniture in it. i could play with it for hours!

now i am an adult. i do not have a dollhouse anymore. but i still like to look at tiny homes.

Explanation:

• Option A: The excerpt says the author had a dollhouse (tiny) as a child and still likes tiny homes as an adult, so this shows she's always liked tiny houses.
• Option B: The text is about a dollhouse, not her living in a tiny house. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The excerpt doesn't ask readers questions. Eliminate C.
• Option D: The text is about her liking tiny houses, not arguing why tiny houses are the best dollhouses. Eliminate D.

Answer:

A. give the idea that she has always liked tiny houses.
