5. Read the following sentences from “Day of the Butterfly”
So Myra and Jimmy spent every recess standing in the little back portch between the two sides. Perhaps they watched the baseball games, the tag skipping and building of leaf houses in the fall and snow forts in the winter; perhaps they did not watch at all. Whenever you happened to ook at them their heads were slightly bent, their narrow bodies hunches in, quite still. They had long smooth oval faces, melancholy and discreet – dark, oily shining hair. The little boys was long, clipped at home, and Myra’s was worn in heavy braids coiled on top of her head so that she looked, from distance as if she was wearing a turban too big for her. Over their dark eyes, the lids children in a medieval painting, they were like small figures carved of wood, for worship or magic, with faces smooth and aged, and meekly, cryptically uncommunicative.

A) To highlight the narrator’s pity for them
B) To show that the children live in a state of poverty
C) To emphasize the children’s isolation from the others***
D) To suggest that Myra and her brother dislike the others
