[KATE:] I’m sorry, Miss Annie.

Question

ANNIE [INDIGNANTLY]: Why does she get a reward? For stabbing me?

KATE: Well—

(Then, tiredly)

We catch our flies with honey, I’m afraid. We haven’t the heart for much else, and so many times she simply cannot be compelled.

ANNIE [OMINOUS]: Yes. I’m the same way myself.

Answer 1

Based on the dialogue in the passage, the following statements are true:

1. Annie is upset with Kate. (She expresses indignation about the reward given to someone who harmed her.)
2. Annie speaks her mind. (She articulates her feelings and concerns directly.)
3. Kate is worn out and tired. (The phrase "tiredly" implies that she is weary.)
4. Annie is afraid of Kate. (This statement is not true; Annie does not show fear of Kate but rather expresses a parallel sentiment of being uncompelled.)
5. Kate is kind. (This statement is somewhat subjective, but her intention to catch "flies with honey" indicates a kind approach despite the situation.)

Therefore, the true statements are:

• Annie is upset with Kate.
• Annie speaks her mind.
• Kate is worn out and tired.
