Citing evidence to support inferences
which line from the passage best supports the
inference that the daughter is motivated by a desire for
independence?
so now on nights when my mother presented her tests, i
performed listlessly, my head propped on one arm. i
pretended to be bored. and i was. i got so bored that i
started counting the bellows of the foghorns out on the
bay while my mother drilled me in other areas. the
sound was comforting and reminded me of the cow
jumping over the moon. and the next day, i played a
game with myself, seeing if my mother would give up on
me before eight bellows. after a while i usually counted
only one, maybe two bellows at most. at last she was
beginning to give up hope.
