Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Lizzie Bright and the
Buckminster Boy.
"May I ask why? Or is this something else that wasn't
intended to embarrass the new minister?"
"Because I wanted to know if it was true."
"If what was true?"
"If Lizzie was lying to me. If all she wanted to do was to
get me on her side so she wouldn't have to leave the
island."
Reverend Buckminster sighed. "It doesn't matter if it's
true. It matters what people think. It matters that my
congregation can tell me what to think when my son
goes out to visit a Negro girl on Malaga Island. It doesn't
matter at all how she got you out there."
"It matters to me," Turner whispered.
“Speak up!”
Based on the dialogue between Turner and his father,
what conclusion can be drawn about Reverend
Buckminster?
O He believes that his son cannot be trusted.
O He cares greatly about the opinions of others.
O He feels that Lizzie will be a bad influence.
O He dislikes everyone living on Malaga Island.
