My mother doesn't understand. Not that I expected she would. When I told her the news, all she said was "Ah, the face that launched a thousand ships." She didn't even look up from her book. Later, at dinner, she apologized for
quoting Marlowe. Marlowe is our cat.
At bedtime I told my mother, "You should have seen the way Helen acted at school. It was disgusting, flirting with the
boys.
Mom tucked the sheets up close around my chin, so that only my head was showing, my body covered mummy style.
"Vita," she said, "it sounds like she's perfect for the part."
Read the excerpt above. Why does Vita's mother say that Helen is perfect for the role of Helen of Troy?
a. Because she didn't want Vita to do the play
b. Helen's flirtatiousness and attention to boys was just like Helen of Troy
Because her mom thinks Helen is more beautiful than Vita
d. Because Marlow said so
