Question

select the correct answer.
which action from bertha best reflects her development over the course of the passage?
a. she thinks to herself as she runs up the stairs.
b. she acts on her feelings and takes her baby.
c. she has a conversation with the nanny.
d. she feeds her baby and reflects on her feelings.

Explanation:

To determine Bertha's development, we analyze each option. Option A (thinking while running up stairs) is a simple internal action. Option C (conversing with nanny) is an interaction but not about personal growth. Option D (feeding and reflecting) is more about a routine. Option B (acting on feelings to take her baby) shows a shift in agency or emotional courage, reflecting growth as she moves from perhaps hesitation to decisive action for her child, aligning with character development.

Answer:

B. She acts on her feelings and takes her baby.
