Excerpt from Wild Plum Jelly
Tracy Wilson
1 In the winter of 1976, when I was only four years old, my family moved into a modest home in a growing Greenville neighborhood. Upon a slope on one side of the house, stood a dozen tree sprigs looking rather bald and barren. By springtime, however, the little trees began growing taller and bushier by the day. Upon exploring the hillside in mid-July, I noticed hundreds of quarter-sized, pinkish orbs dangling, daring me to pick just one. Of course, I did.
What does the phrase "modest home" suggest about the speaker's family?
A) They were most likely a homeless family.
B) They were most likely a very wealthy family.
C) They were most likely a working, middle-class family.
D) They were most likely a family living an extravagant lifestyle.
