Read the excerpt from Rachel's narrative. (1) I sat anxiously yet still in my chair, waiting for the large door to swing open an

d the dentist’s assistant to shout, "Rachel, Rachel, you’re next!” (2) I was a bundle of nerves and could even hear the rhythmic ticking of the shiny clock above the receptionist’s window. (3) I wondered what the new dentist would be like and hoped he would be as nice as Dr. Jackson. (4) Finally, the door swung open and an unfamiliar man rushed into the waiting room with a brown clipboard, yelling, "Rachel? Rachel, you’re next!” (5) Here we go, I thought as I was herded into the small, yellow-walled examination room and into the large, cushioned reclining chair. (6) Finally, after a few minutes, Dr. Perez casually strolled in and I was pleasantly surprised to be instantly relaxed and comforted by her presence. (7) After a long check-up, Dr. Perez dismissed my unwarranted fears that I might have several deep, cavernous cavities. (8) The walk home was a slow, relaxing, and pleasant conclusion to a long, stressful day. Which sentence, if added after sentence 6, would best create a strong, descriptive image that helps to explain why Rachel feels comforted? She was young yet carried herself with great confidence, and her clear eyes locked onto mine and oozed kindness. Dr. Perez was the youngest-looking dentist I had ever seen. She looked to be only a few years older than me. I knew that I would like Dr. Perez and would never again be so anxious before a dentist appointment. Dr. Perez moved quickly around the room, quietly gathering her dental tools.

She was young yet carried herself with great confidence, and her clear eyes locked onto mine and oozed kindness.

This is the best choice because it describes Dr. Perez in a way that would explain why Rachel was no longer anxious about her dental visit. Earlier in the passage, Rachel describes her previous dentist as being nice, which seems to be the quality she liked most. This is a quality that she would value in her new dentist. In the additional sentence, she describes Dr. Perez as oozing kindness. Her reassuring eye contact and confident movements also provide comfort to Rachel.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Meaning of laconic

It's the style of talking, people who answer in the few brief words. So, in this passage it shows that wife doesn't talk generally, but briefly, since it also says "occasionally correcting him on his lefts and rights", so she didn't really give the directions she just corrected his husband.
