Question

Read the excerpt from "Pakistan’s Malala.”

Malala looks the same today at 14, as she did at 11, like a child. But with each interview she gave to Pakistani and international reporters between 2009 and 2012, she sounded more like an adult.

Based on this excerpt, how did the interviews affect Malala?

She started looking older than her age.
She became older sounding and acting.
She changed the style of her dress.
She grew taller and more woman-like.

Answer 1

She became older sounding and acting.

The passage says she still looks like a child but, with each interview, "she sounded more like an adult," indicating her manner and voice grew more mature.
