In a simple, sparsely decorated apartment, ROSIE sits alone, sewing. She rocks back and forth rhythmically,
giggling to herself softly. When the others enter, she drops
her sewing and stands in the corner. She remains there,
arms folded, looking down, while they begin to prepare
dinner cheerily.
Which assumption about Rosie is best supported by this excerpt?
A. She is happy with her role as a seamstress but has never learned
to cook.
B. She was not supposed to be in the apartment and is hoping not to
be noticed.
C. She has a condition that that makes socializing difficult, and she
prefers being alone.
D. She is upset with her mother for not allowing her to go to college.
