Question

This is a tedious story; but if gone through, one has a little insight into the labor of a Red Cross field of relief. There are twenty in my recollection, and this was by no means the hardest or the most useful. They have been lived, but never told.

–A Story of the Red Cross,
Clara Barton

Which statement best describes the author’s interpretation of events?

She thinks that there are many good examples of the work of the Red Cross.
She thinks that the story of Galveston is the most important.
She thinks that she has forgotten important details.
She thinks that there is no point in telling the stories.

Answer 1

She thinks that there are many good examples of the work of the Red Cross.

Reason: the author mentions "There are twenty in my recollection" and that this one "was by no means the hardest or the most useful," implying multiple instances that illustrate Red Cross work.
