The following text is from Lucy Maud Montgomery's 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables. Anne, an elevenyear-old girl, has come to live on a farm with a woman named Marilla in Nova Scotia, Canada. Anne reveled in the world of color about her. "Oh, Marilla," she exclaimed one Saturday morning, coming dancing in with her arms full of gorgeous boughs, "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn't it? Look at these maple branches. Don't they give you a thrill-several thrills? I'm going to decorate my room with them." "Messy things," said Marilla, whose aesthetic sense was not noticeably developed. "You clutter up your room entirely too much with out-ofdoors stuff, Anne. Bedrooms were made to sleep in." Which choice best states the main purpose of the text? (A) To demonstrate that Anne has a newly developed appreciation of nature B) To describe an argument that Anne and Marilla often have C) To emphasize Marilla's disapproval of how Anne has decorated her room D) To show that Anne and Marilla have very different personalities
