from Little Women
by Louisa May Alcott

"What in the world are you going to do now, Jo?" asked Meg one snowy afternoon, as her sister came tramping through the hall, in rubber boots, old sack, and hood, with a broom in one hand and a shovel in the other.
"Going out for exercise," answered Jo with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
"I should think two long walks this morning would have been enough! It's cold and dull out, and I advise you to stay warm and dry by the fire, as I do," said Meg with a shiver.
"Never take advice! Can't keep still all day, and not being a Buttercat, I don't like to doze by the fire. I like adventures, and I'm going to find some."
Meg went back to toast her feet and read Ivanhoe, and Jo began to dig paths with great energy. The snow was light, and with her broom she soon swept a path all round the garden, for Beth to walk in when the sun came out and the invalid dolls needed air. Now, the garden separated the Marches' house from that of Mr. Laurence. Both stood in a suburb of the city, which was still country-like, with groves and lawns, large gardens, and quiet streets. A low hedge parted the two estates. On one side was an old, brown house, looking rather bare and shabby, robbed of the vines that in summer covered its walls and the flowers, which then surrounded it. On the other side was a stately stone mansion, plainly betokening every sort of comfort and luxury, from the big coach house and well-kept grounds to the conservatory and the glimpses of lovely things one caught between the rich curtains.
Yet it seemed a lonely, lifeless sort of house, for no children frolicked on the lawn, no motherly face ever smiled at the windows, and few people went in and out, except the old gentleman and his grandson.
To Jo's lively fancy, this fine house seemed a kind of enchanted palace, full of splendors and delights which no one enjoyed. She had long wanted to behold these hidden glories, and to know the Laurence boy, who looked as if he would like to be known, if he only knew how to begin.

Based on the passage, which two inferences can be made about Jo?
She is adventurous and likes being outdoors.
She doesn't obey her elders and often gets in trouble.
She is imaginative and curious.
She likes to sit by the fire and read.
She is an introvert who likes to keep to herself.

Any thoughts so far?

Notice in the beginning of the passage, Meg is advising her to stay inside, but Jo replies:      "Never take advice! Can't keep still all day, and not being a Buttercat, I don't like to doze by the fire. I like adventures, and I'm going to find some.”

So she is explicitly saying she likes adventures and is going outside. It would be fair to say option 1, “ She is adventurous and likes being outdoors.” is true.

Can you try finding another statement that might be true about Jo? Pay close attention to the last part of the passage.
