Question

margaret had just gotten her first pair of eyeglasses, perfect cat - eyes, and she was amazed at how much she could see. she lay in the scrub grass beneath a stand of cottonwoods, took them off, and watched the branches turn gauzy and familiar. then she put the glasses back on, bracing a little for the barrage of detail. thousands of leaves leaped out, trembling and hard - edged. the narrow river, a few yards away, turned crunchy - looking again. bird sounds attached themselves to small shapes on high branches. she didnt know when her vision had started to go seriously bad. it had been so gradual, this nearsightedness, that she hadnt noticed it for a while. at first, it seemed only that a luxurious vagueness had come into her life. then it had begun to make her uneasy. but this sudden return of all the details was more than she really wanted. it was unnerving. it gave her the same feeling she got when someone explained how something scientific works—osmosis, say, or photosynthesis. the explanations crowded out her imagination and made her feel bleak with information. 24. what was margaret not sure of? m why she had been feeling uneasy. n when she started to need glasses. o whether her glasses were working properly. p why everything looked so different through glasses. 25. what had margaret liked about not seeing well? q she needed to imagine things. r she didnt have to work. s she could get people to explain things. t she wasnt expected to understand science.
