Question

read the poem. then, review the bolded text in the fourth stanza. small and tall the daisy uncurls her little leaves and stretches her petals open wide. she basks in the sunlight until she falls under the shadow of the sunflower. every day, the sunflowers owner comes out to measure, water, and weed. that man is always taking pictures. while the daisy wonders what good she is. then the bees say to the daisy, \your nectar is the purest gold.\ the ants say daisies are pretty for building their hilly homes around. with something of her own to offer, she reaches her petals towards the sky. the sunflowers shadow is just a nice way to find some shade in the middle of the day. the bolded text requires an inference, or a guess, about missing details. based on the text, which sentence is most likely to be true? the daisy prefers cooler weather to the summer months. the daisy has stopped worrying about the sunflower.

Explanation:

The fourth stanza shows the daisy has embraced her own value (from the bees and ants' praise) and now views the sunflower's shadow positively as shade, rather than feeling inferior. This means she no longer worries about the sunflower. The claim about preferring cooler weather has no support in the poem.

Answer:

The daisy has stopped worrying about the sunflower.
