Read the excerpt from “Run, Kate Shelley, Run.”
It was nearly eleven o’clock when Kate heard Number 11’s whistle. Long, short—long, short—screaming into the wind. The rumble of the engine grew louder as it crept along the line from Moingona to Boone, checking for washouts on the track. Suddenly Kate heard a crack like thunder, and another and another. With a sound like cannon fire, the Honey Creek trestle bridge, the engine, and four terrified crewmen crashed into the roaring water twenty feet below.
Kate pulled on her barn coat and a battered straw hat. “I’m going,” she said.
Kate’s mother gripped her arm. “No, Kate. You could be killed in that storm!”
Kate grabbed Pa’s railroad lantern. “If Pa were out there, I’d go,” she said. “I have to do it, Ma.” With shaking hands, she lit the lantern and ran into the downpour and darkness to Honey Creek.
What inference can be made based on the details in the excerpt and what the reader has learned so far?
The memory of her father gives Kate strength to try to help.
The bridge collapses because it is struck by lightning.
Kate’s mother respects her daughter’s decision to act and is sure she will succeed.
The engine falls into the water because the storm has washed away the tracks. PLZ HELPPP
