Question

home from work, he said i was his \brave little ruby.\ what can you tell about ruby after she got home from her first day at william frantz public school? she didnt understand that she had done something important that day. she was troubled that the police had blocked off her street. she was hurt by the chant she had learned that day. she didnt want to tell her friends about her day.

Explanation:

The text mentions Ruby's father called her his "brave little Ruby" after she had trouble at school. Ruby Bridges' historical first day at William Frantz Public School involved significant hostility and trauma, so she would have been hurt by the harsh treatment (the "thing she had learned that day" refers to the cruelty she faced). The other options are unsupported: there's no indication she didn't grasp the importance of her act, was troubled by police blocking the street, or avoided telling friends.

Answer:

C. She was hurt by the thing she had learned that day.
