Read the following excerpt from "The Daughters of the Late Colonel" by
Katherine Mansfield:
"But," cried Josephine, flouncing on her pillow and staring
across the dark at Constantia, "father's head!" And
suddenly, for one awful moment, she nearly giggled. Not,
of course, that she felt in the least like giggling. It must
have been a habit. Years ago, when they had stayed awake
at night talking, their beds had simply heaved. And now the
porter's head, disappearing, popped out, like a candle,
under father's hat... The giggle mounted, mounted; she
clenched her hands; she fought it down, she frowned
fiercely at the dark and said "Remember" terribly sternly.
Which statement best conveys how the author achieves her purpose in the
passage?
A. She uses a simile to show that Josephine uses candles at night
because the darkness is frightening to her.
B. She uses a simile to show that Josephine thinks the porter is too
unimportant to wear her father's best hat.
C. She uses characterization to show that Josephine has a childish
mentality about proper behavior in a time of grief.
D. She uses characterization to show that Josephine believes that in
times of grief, laughter has great healing power.
