How do paragraphs 6 through 9 best explain Rachel’s attitude toward class? “Whose is this?” Mrs. Price says, and she holds the red
sweater up in the air for all the class to see. “Whose? It’s
been sitting in the coatroom for a month.”
“Not mine,” says everybody. “Not me.”
“It has to belong to somebody,”Mrs. Price keeps
saying, but nobody can remember. It’s an ugly sweater with
red plastic buttons and a collar and sleeves all stretched out
like you could use it for a jump rope. It’s maybe a thousand
years old and even if it belonged to me I wouldn’t say so.
