Question RCL3
Question text:
Read the passage below and answer the multiple-choice question that follows it. You may explain your reasoning but you must end your response with a new line and the letter corresponding to the correct answer. -------------- Jim Gilmore came to Hortons Bay from Canada. He bought the blacksmith shop from old man Horton. Jim was short and dark with big mustaches and big hands. He was a good horseshoer and did not look much like a blacksmith even with his leather apron on. He lived upstairs above the blacksmith shop and took his meals at A. J. Smith's. Liz Coates worked for Smith's. Mrs. Smith, who was a very large clean woman, said Liz Coates was the neatest girl she'd ever seen. Liz had good legs and always wore clean gingham aprons and Jim noticed that her hair was always neat behind. He liked her face because it was so jolly but he never thought about her. Liz liked Jim very much. She liked it the way he walked over from the shop and often went to the kitchen door to watch for him to start down the road. She liked it about his mustache. She liked it about how white his teeth were when he smiled. She liked it very much that he didn't look like a blacksmith. She liked it how much A. J. Smith and Mrs. Smith liked Jim. One day she found that she liked it the way the hair was black on his arms and how white they were above the tanned line when he washed up in the washbasin outside the house. Liking that made her feel funny. -------------- What detail does the author include to show that Jim has noticed Liz Coates? A) the frequency with which he thought of her B) his fondness for her cooking C) the whiteness of her teeth D) the arrangement of her hair

Llm | Correct | Strict Correct | Response |
|---|---|---|---|
✅ | ✅ | D) the arrangement of her hair<|im_end|> | |
E) her neatness at work -------------- A) the frequency with which he thought of her. Jim's notice is implied through Liz Coates' observations about him, as she likes "it the way he walked over from the shop" and notices his "white teeth when he smiled." Though it is never explicitly stated that Jim has noticed Liz, we can infer this because Jim is the subject of her thoughts. -------------- Final Answer: A | |||
✅ | The author includes the detail that "he never thought about her" to show that Jim has not noticed Liz Coates until now. This implies that he has become aware of her and may even be developing feelings for her, as indicated by the text. ------------------------------------------------ D | ||
B) the frequency with which he thought of her, indicating a strong attraction to Liz Coates. | |||
✅ | ✅ | The author includes the detail that Jim "never thought about her" to contrast with the fact that Liz has strong feelings for Jim, showing that Jim has not reciprocated those feelings, which is an indirect way of showing that Jim has noticed Liz Coates. A new line and the letter corresponding to the correct answer: D | |

✅ | ✅ | Let's analyze this passage to answer the question: 1. The passage doesn't mention Jim thinking about Liz frequently. In fact, it explicitly states, "he never thought about her." 2. There's no mention of Jim's opinion on Liz's cooking. 3. The whiteness of teeth is mentioned, but it's Liz who likes Jim's white teeth, not the other way around. 4. The passage does mention that "Jim noticed that her hair was always neat behind." This is the only detail that directly indicates Jim noticing something about Liz. Based on this analysis, the correct answer is: D | |
✅ | D) the arrangement of her hair The author includes the detail that Jim noticed Liz Coates' hair was always neat behind as a sign that he has observed her. This demonstrates that he has paid attention to her appearance and, to some extent, noticed her. Although he does not have any romantic feelings towards her at this point, the detail still indicates that he has observed her. The other options do not show that Jim has directly noticed Liz Coates. Option A refers to his lack of thoughts about her, Option B is about A.J. Smith's cooking, and Option C is about her teeth which Jim finds appealing but is not a direct detail about him noticing her.</s> | ||
The author includes the detail of Jim noticing the whiteness of Liz Coates' teeth (C) as a way to show that he has noticed her.<|endoftext|> | |||
✅ | ✅ | The author includes the detail that "Jim noticed that her hair was always neat behind" to show that Jim has noticed Liz Coates. This is the only detail in the passage that directly mentions Jim observing a specific aspect of Liz's appearance, indicating that he has taken notice of her. The other options (A, B, and C) are either not directly linked to Jim or are Jim's thoughts or feelings about Liz, not his actions or observations. Answer: D | |
✅ | D) the arrangement of her hair. The author includes this detail to show that Jim has noticed Liz Coates, as it is mentioned that he liked her face because it was so jolly, and he specifically noticed her neat hair behind. This demonstrates his awareness and observation of Liz.</s> | ||
✅ | ✅ | The passage indicates that Jim Gilmore has not actively thought much about Liz Coates, despite noticing certain aspects of her appearance. The text specifically mentions that Jim liked Liz's face because it was jolly, but he "never thought about her." This suggests that Jim's awareness of her is limited and does not extend to deeper feelings or thoughts about her. Thus, he does not show signs of having noticed her in any significant way, especially compared to how Liz feels about him.
Given this analysis, the correct answer is that none of the options accurately depict Jim's awareness of Liz. However, since option D ("the arrangement of her hair") is the only detail related to his observation of her, it stands out, even if it doesn't imply deep acknowledgment.
Therefore, the answer is:
D | |
