Read the excerpt from Wonder by R. J. Palacio. The other kids had started out the door, so I followed them. "See you soon," said Mom, her voice sounding a little higher than normal. I didn't answer her. Which inference correctly identifies how August and his mother are most likely feeling? August follows the other kids out the door, which shows that he is excited and curious; his mother's voice sounds a little higher than normal, which shows that she is regretful. August follows the other kids out the door, which shows that he is confused; his mother says she will see him soon, which shows that she is nervous and protective. August does not answer his mother, which shows that he is angry and scared; his mother's voice sounds a little higher than normal, which shows that she is worried. August does not answer his mother, which shows that he is surprised; his mother says she will see him soon, which shows that she is excited and confident.

i think A

The correct answer is: C

August does not answer his mother, which shows that he is angry and scared; his mother's voice sounds a little higher than normal, which shows that she is worried. (C)

Explanation:

Feelings can be correctly inferred from actions such as facial expressions, tone or pitch of voice, body postures and response to circumstances. From the excerpt, the option that most appropriately fits the feelings portrayed by August and his mother is option C'August does not answer his mother, which shows that he is angry and scared; his mother's voice sounds a little higher than normal, which shows that she is worried.' This is so because when a person is angry and scared, they tend to talk less, a response which August showed by not responding to his mother, also when a person is worried, there is a change of tone of voice which is most often higher than normal, hence the tone of his mother's voice shows that she most likely is worried. The other options are wrong because: In options A and B, August following the other kids out the door, does not show feeling, and in option D, August, not responding to his mother does not show surprise and a higher-than-normal tone of voice does not portray a confident feeling.
