Question

select the correct text in the passage. which detail helps the reader infer that jack is seeing something supernatural? (2) \kitty,\ i cried, \there are poor mrs. wessingtons jhampanies turned up again! i wonder who has them now? (3) \what? where?\ she asked. \i cant see them anywhere.\ (4) even as she spoke, her horse, swerving from a laden mule, threw himself directly in front of the advancing rickshaw. i had scarcely time to utter a word of warning when, to my unutterable horror, horse and rider passed through men and carriage as if they had been thin air.

Explanation:

To determine the detail showing Jack sees something supernatural, we analyze each option. The detail in sentence (4) where "horse and rider passed through men and carriage as if they had been thin air" implies a supernatural event (passing through solid objects like air is impossible in reality). The first highlighted text is about Mrs. Wessington’s jhampanics, which is more about an object reappearing, not supernatural sight. The "What? Where?" response is just Kitty’s confusion. So the relevant detail is from sentence (4).

Answer:

(4) Even as she spoke, her horse, swerving from a laden mule, threw himself directly in front of the advancing 'rickshaw. I had scarcely time to utter a word of warning when, to my unutterable horror, horse and rider passed through men and carriage as if they had been thin air.
