My mom knew the grocery store was a place where a 4-year-old child could easily get bored and frustrated while sitting in the shopping cart. When I was about 4 years old, she would play a game in the grocery store with me called "I Spy" to keep me from getting bored while shopping and to test my knowledge on colors, shapes, or certain food items. The game would start with my mom saying, "I spy something green and round." I would instinctively react by looking for an item that met her description. When I spotted what I thought she was describing, I would point to the item. She would then tell me if I was correct or not. When I would look around the store at other kids being wheeled around in shopping carts, they looked miserable and ready to go home. My mom knew how to make going to the grocery store fun, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for those other kids my age who didn't have a mom like mine. 4 Which sentence from the story shows that the narrator's experience was much different than many other's experience at the grocery store? A. When I spotted what I thought she was describing, I would point to the item. B. When I would look around the store at other kids being wheeled around in shopping carts, they looked miserable and ready to go home. C. The game would start with my mom saying, "I spy something green and round."

The question is asking basically "What does the narrator say that sets his experience apart from other people?" Well look for how he's describing his experience in the store. C. would be wrong because it doesn't include any other character's emotions, thoughts, or feelings. A. would also be incorrect because the narrator is explaining how the game worked between him and his mother and isn't describing anyone else. B. is the correct answer because of how he describes other character's emotions by their facial expressions. "They looked miserable and looked as if they wanted to go home" is a dead giveaway of the character's emotions. Earlier on in the text, he says his mother knows how to make his experience "fun" which would imply he's talking about how HE feels about going to the grocery store. This is how their experiences are set apart from each other.
