Penny's Tricks

"I need your yellow sweater
to match my yellow shirt.
Can I borrow your pearls, dear?
And that polka-dot skirt?

Indeed, you are more beautiful,
but I want to be adored.
You have your moments plentiful.
When have I thus implored?"

"Of course, you want my possessions."
"I still cannot be you."
"Oh, stop your clever confessions."
"Clever they are, but true."

The correct answer is C. Penny's sister.

The poem alternates between two voices, and the second voice is understood to be Penny's sister speaking back to Penny. Throughout most of the poem, it is Penny who is asking for items and expressing her desires, but the responses indicate that it is her sister who is engaged in the dialogue, particularly in the latter part where the sister is addressing Penny's requests and feelings.
