Question
Read the opening paragraph from "A Treasure in the Attic."
1 knew that Dad had been offered a new job in another city, and I realized Mom had been
of the country for years. Still, it did not really hit me that we would be moving until the mus
estate agent, Mr. Todd, nailed the huge "For Sale" sign into our grassy lawn.
What does the use of the word itching tell you about Stanley's mom?
A Treasure in the Attic
• She is anxious about moving to a new place.
• She is allergic to something in their house.
• She is ready to leave the country.
O She is nervous about the new job Stanley's dad has.
Answer
The word "itching" does not provide information about Stanley's mom's feelings towards the new job. Therefore, the correct answer is: She is anxious about moving to a new place.
