3. Which statement describes Mary's motivation for covering
up her crime? (Paragraphs 46-48)
O A She wants to protect her unborn child.
OB She thinks she did nothing wrong.
O C She is afraidhof life in prison.
OD She does not want to die.

The correct answer is (A) She wants to protect her unborn child.

Explanation:

Mary is about six months pregnant when she finds out that her husband is going to leave her.

This comes as a shock to her. She is very agitated and impulsive at this point.

Hence in the heat of the moment, she kills her husband.

She did not want to go to prison because she can not bear the fact that they will take her child away from her.

She even thinks that they might kill her unborn child.

She could not bear the thought of this, hence she decided to cover up the murder.

explanation:

i dont know what the answer so im making you laugh here's ya joke lol

answer: b) bubbling its way

explanation: an adjective is a word or a group of words that modifies a noun (name, thing, place,

in this case, the first option "to heartily enjoy" isn't describing or modifying any noun, the third option "hiking along merrily" is describing an action but it doesn't modify any noun, the last option "beside us" is just a preposition that indicates position, so the correct answer is the second one: "bubbling its way" because it is modifying the noun "stream".
