Respuesta :
The author's choice of words reveals Sarah's internal struggle to contain her fear.
With that, we can affirm that the letter C is the correct answer.
We can reach this conclusion because:
- By reading the text we can see that Sarah is very apprehensive.
- She is very scared because her grandmother left and is taking a long time to get home.
- Sarah is trying to contain her fear, distracting her mind, thinking that "grandma will be here soon."
- She is hopeful that this will happen and she can calm down, but she is all the time thinking about the slave catchers.
- That's because she's afraid her grandmother has been captured by one.
The text allows the reader to understand that Sarah's grandmother is a free slave, but Sarah's fear is justifiable because the slave catchers did not consider the slaves' freedom.
