Read the following passage, "Dark Star", and reference it to answer questions 1-16.

Dark Star

[1] Giselle leaned against the mahogany bay horse, stroking the white diamond-shaped star on its forehead and looking into its soulful brown eyes. “Hey, my man,” she whispered. Dark Star angled his head around, cautiously sniffed at the cast on Giselle’s forearm, and then nuzzled her neck and lightly stamped a hoof on the floor of his stall. “I’m okay. I missed you, too,” she said. Then she retrieved some green apple slices from a resealable plastic bag and fed them one by one to the horse. “Today is our day to pick up where we left off, so here’s a little something to give you energy,” she told the horse.

Ever since she was a little girl, Giselle had loved horses, and she devoured books like The Black Stallion, Black Beauty, and National Velvet. When she was eight years old, Giselle moved to the country with her parents and baby twin brothers. The open field behind their home was a blank page begging to be filled. But when she asked her parents if she could have a horse, they told her they just couldn’t afford it. Instead Giselle decorated the walls of her room with posters of horses and pictures she drew. One day, she promised herself, she would learn to ride a horse and maybe even have one of her own.

Which line from the text most strongly supports the idea that Giselle is firmly dedicated to fulfill her desire to interact with horses?

Question 1 options:

“Ever since she was a little girl, Giselle had loved horses, and she devoured books like The Black Stallion, Black Beauty, and National Velvet.”

“Not content with just books, pictures, and posters, Giselle would often climb the hill behind her home to watch Dark Star, the Fletchers’ horse, cantering in the corral.”

“. . . Giselle decorated the walls of her room with posters of horses and pictures she drew.”

“Alarmed that the Fletchers might have forgotten about Dark Star, Giselle rushed to their front door, summoning the courage to ask if she could be the bay’s guardian.”

If you look at the options closely it's probably going to be 1 or 2 because these really point out here love of horses. However 2 is a little more what the question is looking for because that really points out her desire to work with them.

“Not content with just books, pictures, and posters, Giselle would often climb the hill behind her home to watch Dark Star, the Fletchers’ horse, cantering in the corral.”

She is not fulfilled with her current love of horses, therefore running off to a nearby corral to gain the experience she desires. It is the question of interaction which is best reflected in this statement.
