Question

what does alexandra’s nervousness when talking with her brothers in paragraph 8 reveal about her character?
○ that she is not as confident about her business decisions as she tries to portray
○ that she knows that her brothers are going to fight her on the business decisions she has to make
○ that she cares a great deal about having the support of her family in her business decisions
○ that she is not interested in making the business decisions on behalf of her family

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The text doesn't suggest she's unconfident; instead, she's making business decisions, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The "nervousness" in the question implies a concern. If her brothers might fight her on decisions, it would make her nervous as she's taking on a leadership/business role. This aligns with the context of her inheriting the farm and making decisions.
• Option 3: The nervousness isn't about family support but about potential conflict over decisions, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The story shows she is interested in making the farm successful, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. that she knows that her brothers are going to fight her on the business decisions she has to make
