2. Which piece of textual evidence BEST supports the answer to the above question?
a. "They (Daisy and Miss Baker] were here, and they accepted Tom and me, making only polite
pleasant effort to entertain or be entertained. They knew that presently dinner would be over and a little
later the evening, too, would be over and casually put away."
b. "I am not even faintly like a rose. She [Daisy] was only extemporizing, but a stirring warmth flowed
from her, as if her heart was trying to come out to you concealed in one of those breathless, thrilling
words."
c. "The telephone rang inside, startlingly...I was conscious of wanting to look squarely at every one,
and yet to avoid all eyes... To a certain temperament the situation might have seemed intriguing--my own
instinct was to telephone immediately for the police."
d. "Daisy took her face in her hands as if feeling its lovely shape, and her eyes moved gradually out
into the velvet dusk. I saw that turbulent emotions possessed her, so I asked what I thought would be
some sedative questions about her little girl."
