Question

reading progress check

\good-bye, dears,\ called mrs. raymond after them. \dont let her beat you, bee.\
\i wont, auntie,\ beatrice paused long enough to say, and then sped after her cousin.
there were ripples of sunshine all tangled over the bowers of apple blooms, and dancing blithely over the mats of blue violets in the grass. gold belted honeybees hummed a song of contentment in every flowery cluster. gauze - winged dragon flies darted hither and thither, while butterflies sailed by on new born wings of bronze, and scarlet and gold. the wind laughed a gleeful accompaniment to the merry maidens who ran gaily down the path oershadowed by the trees. adeles graceful form was in the lead, but beatrice was gradually gaining upon her. at length, as they were nearing the edge of the orchard, bee gave an exultant shout and passed her cousin, reaching the gate just ahead of her.

which detail is emphasized in the picture but not in the passage?
a. the sun rays rippling through the apple orchard as the girls race through the pathway of blue violets
b. the competition that exists between the two girls that is encouraged by mrs. anderson, insisting that bee takes the lead
c. the healthy competition that exists between the two girls as they seemingly enjoy a run through the orchard
d. the challenge bee faces as they race toward the gate, knowing adele may read the letter if she makes it there first

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option by comparing the picture (showing two girls running in an orchard with grass and trees) and the passage:

• Option A: The passage mentions "ripples of sunshine" but the picture emphasizes visible sun rays rippling through the orchard as the girls race, which is more visually emphasized in the picture than described in the passage.
• Option B: The passage has Mrs. Raymond saying "Don't let her beat you, Bee" (not Mrs. Anderson) and no mention of a "competition encouraged by Mrs. Anderson" or Bee taking the lead being encouraged. So this is incorrect.
• Option C: The passage describes the race and competition, so this detail is in the passage.
• Option D: The passage has Bee's challenge of racing to the gate to prevent Adele from reading the letter, so this detail is in the passage.

Answer:

A. the sun rays rippling through the apple orchard as the girls race through the pathway of blue violets
