Because we know how much you love this passage,

00:11

we totally don't mind if you pause this video and skim it....

00:18

In lines 54 through 58, the narrator implies that... what?

00:23

And here are the potential answers...

00:28

So, Georgiana ran off and got hitched to Howard,

00:30

then went to Nebraska instead of listening to her family criticize her decision.

00:35

What's implied? Not B, because...well...the sentence doesn't

00:38

say anything about what Howard's plans were. If (C) were right... which it definitely isn't...

00:43

then it would've been Georgiana's family's idea for her to ride off into the sunset with

00:47

Howard.

00:48

The excerpt says that Georgiana ran off to Nebraska to "elude," or escape, her friends

00:53

and family, whom she knew wouldn't be down with Howie.

00:56

Georgina was so busy eluding everybody that she never gave them the chance to understand.

01:01

Who knows? Maybe they would've loved the idea of her marrying Howard.

01:04

On second thought, Auntie G was probably right about that one.

01:07

There's no way her peeps would've liked him. Whatever the case, (E) is

01:10

incorrect.

01:11

If choice (D) were true, then Auntie G's friends and family would've given her the

01:15

boot for marrying Howard.

01:16

The passage makes it clear that she left on her own, though, so this one isn't right

01:21

either. Looks like choice (A) is the answer for us.

01:24

If Georgiana hadn't felt that facing her family would be... not-so-fun... she wouldn't have

01:29

had to elude anybody.

01:30

We wonder how she felt about this choice after she saw exactly what a Nebraska homestead

01:35

looked like.
