Question

(MC)The next question refers to the dialogue that follows. The paragraphs have been numbered to help you identify them more easily. (1) Logan sighed as he sat on the couch. "I can't believe we're stuck at home on the Fourth of July!" (2) "I blame Dad," said Kerry. "He should have driven us to see fireworks instead of taking Mom to a movie." (3) "It's going to be pretty boring watching fireworks on television." said Logan. (4) "Oh, I've got better plans than that," laughed Kerry. "I've got four firecrackers and two model rockets. Care to join me in the backyard?" Which paragraph features dialogue that reveals details about the characters' relationship?

Answer 1

Answer: The right answer is the 2) "I blame Dad," said Kerry. "He should have driven us to see fireworks instead of taking Mom to a movie."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can also be added that option 2 is the only one that includes a comment or an opinion about another person, hence suggesting the existence of a relationship. In option 4 one of the characters invites another character to join her, but that does not reveal enough information about their relationship. Options 1 and 3 are only statements made by one of the characters, and they do not include references to other people. Therefore, the right answer is the 2, since it reveals that a daughter is very upset with her father, because he has not taken her to see the fireworks on the Fourth of July. The comment suggests that this might be a tense and perhaps rocky relationship, but it is not possible to infer any further information.    

Answer 2

Paragraph 2 is the only one, from what i can tell, that describes any type of relationship with the dad.
