Explanation:

Paragraph 11 states the narrator could barely swallow besides sobbing, showing initial sadness. Paragraph 14 describes her tears drying without a loved one to comfort her, which extends the earlier sadness by highlighting she has no support, reinforcing her ongoing loneliness and sorrow rather than just exhaustion, youth, or discomfort with the school's conditions.
