Question

Which implicit detail is best supported by this passage?
Louise shuffled through the dark, inch by inch, across her living room. She was sure she was near the closet when her bare toes crunched on hard plastic. She yelped. Then, realizing what her brother must think, she called, "Everything's O.K.! It's only one of your toys." She heard his muffled whimper from under the bed.

Just then, a flash of lightning revealed the closet, its door open as if in welcome. And there, standing tall on the middle shelf, was their only flashlight. She grabbed for it, but in the dark, her fingers fumbled and she lost her grip. She heard the flashlight clatter to the floor and break apart, the pieces rolling in different directions. Louise's shoulders sagged.
A.
Louise and her brother are playing a game.
B.
Louise is barefoot in the living room.
C.
Louise's brother is right beside her.
D.
Louise's brother is nervous in the dark.

Answer 1
