how Aunt Georgiana's appearance probably shocks his landlady.
When he uses the phrase "what was left of her," we can't help but imagine some zombie
version of Auntie G wreaking havoc in Boston.
We're going to keep that pleasant image with us as we sift through these answers.
Come on, how could Auntie G have survived out in the wild mid-west of Nebraska this
long, if she was super fragile?
(B) is wrong for sure.
Later in the passage, we hear that Auntie G goes right to bed when she gets to the boarding
house, but there's nothing in this sentence to say that the trip was outright dangerous
for her.
This lady may be withered, but she's still a tough old bird.
Well, Auntie G has definitely adapted to her harsh frontier lifestyle, which this passage
makes clear has taken a serious toll on her.
The focus isn't on her ability to adapt in general, though, so (D) is completely wrong.
Uh, yeah, we're sure that the effects of Auntie G's hardships are clear to everybody
who sees her.
There's no way (A) is correct. Which points us to (E), the correct answer.
