Question 1
Who is Rosaleen?
Correct Answer:
Lily's nanny
Explanation:
Rosaleen serves as Lily Owens’s caregiver and maternal figure. She looks after Lily at home, provides guidance and protection, and is a trusted presence in Lily’s life in the absence of Lily’s mother. That nurturing, day-to-day caregiving role is why she’s described as Lily’s nanny. She isn’t Lily’s mother, a teacher, or merely a neighbor, but the person who cares for Lily like a family member.
Question 2
Where does Lily live?
Correct Answer:
With her father
Explanation:
Lily lives with her father. The story starts with Lily in the care of T. Ray, at their home in South Carolina, after her mother Deborah has died. Rosaleen helps around the house and serves as a maternal figure, but Lily’s permanent home is with her father, not with Deborah or with Rosaleen. The foster-home option would imply a formal guardian different from her own father, and Deborah isn’t alive to be a living guardian, so those choices don’t fit Lily’s actual living situation.
Question 3
What does Mr. Avery Gatson say when the dealer hits Rosaleen and Lily screams?
Correct Answer:
Hush!
Explanation:
In a moment of sudden danger, the speaker uses a sharp, controlling command to calm the scene and assert power. The line “Hush!” is the best fit because it’s brief, urgent, and designed to stop noise immediately without inviting further action or explanation. It mirrors a domineering attitude—someone who wants silence right away to maintain control as violence occurs. The other options would come off as milder or as calls for help or intervention, which doesn’t match the tense, silencing impulse of the moment. So, the exact one-word exclamation best conveys the immediate need to quiet Lily’s scream and assert control in the face of aggression.
Question 4
Why did Deborah marry T. Ray?
Correct Answer:
She was pregnant
Explanation:
The situation hinges on a pregnancy driving a marriage. In the story, Deborah marries T. Ray because she is pregnant with Lily, and at that time/within that community, becoming a mother outside of wedlock created strong social pressure to formalize the relationship through marriage. The decision isn’t about love or debt or a plan to escape trouble; it’s about providing a father and some stability for Lily while navigating difficult circumstances.
Question 5
Becca goes to school with which character?
Correct Answer:
Lily
Explanation:
Becca’s daily life in the story is defined by the people she goes to school with. Lily is the character described as Becca’s schoolmate, sharing the school day with Becca and representing her peer group in that setting. The other options fit in different parts of the world the story builds: Zach is part of Lily’s wider circle and town life, but not described as Becca’s schoolmate; May and August are adult Boatwright sisters who aren’t part of Becca’s school environment. So recognizing that Becca and Lily attend the same school explains why Lily is the best answer.
