Luka Nguyen · Answer 1

C. Ms. Ginny doesn't like the look of the narrator's van.

Explanation:

This is the only piece of evidence that does not support the central idea of everyone, even the people living in the tiniest of towns, have value and meaning in this world. Option A tells us that Miss Ginny records the deaths of everyone in the town. This shows that she considers these deaths and these people important. Option B tells us that the doctor also cares about the people and the "old way of doing things." Finally, option D tells us that there was a store that allowed the citizens of the small town to fulfill their needs.
