Question

\hey, yourself,\ i said, scowling so ferociously that she kept on walking. i stared after her a moment noting that she would have on a new dress. certainly no one else did. patches on faded pants and dresses abounded on boys and girls come so recently from the heat of the cotton fields. girls stood awkwardly, afraid to sit, and boys pulled restlessly at starched, high - buttoned collars. those students fortunate enough to have shoes hopped from one pinched foot to the other. tonight the sunday clothes would be wrapped in newspaper and hung for sunday and the shoes would be packed away to be brought out again only when the weather turned so cold that bare feet could no longer traverse the frozen roads; but for today we all suffered. on the far side of the lawn i spied moe turner speeding toward the seventh - grade - class building, and wondered at his energy. moe was one of staceys friends. he lived on the montier plantation, a three - and - a - half - hour walk from the school. because of the distance, many children from the montier plantation did not come to great faith after they had finished the four - year school near smellings creek. but there were some girls and boys like moe who made the trek daily, leaving their homes while the sky was black and not returning until all was blackness again. i for one was certainly glad that i didnt live that far away. i dont think my feet would have wanted that badly for me to be educated. from mildred d. taylor, roll of thunder, hear my cry. copyright 1976 by mildred d. taylor look at the text in bold. what does this description reveal about the children and their clothing? the children generally do not take very good care of their nice sunday clothes. the children are not used to wearing their nice sunday clothes at school. the children are generally excited about wearing nice sunday clothes to school

Explanation:

The bold text describes girls standing awkwardly, afraid to sit, and boys fidgeting with stiff collars. This discomfort shows they are unaccustomed to wearing their nice, formal Sunday clothes in a school setting, rather than being careless or excited.

The children are not used to wearing their nice Sunday clothes at school.
