Questions 1-5 of 25:

1.

Why does Ettie put down the box of slides when she finds the photo of the mill that has been given to Lidia? (from Part I: Earth, Chapter 4)

She does not like that photo and doesn't want to see any more of them.

She is overcome with grief and cannot look at Vince's belongings any more.

She is hurt by Vince's gift to Lidia and does not want to be reminded of it.

She has seen them all, as that was the last slide in the box.

Captain is old and has forgotten what Ettie looks like.

The new clothes that Iza has bought Ettie have made her look different.

Captain is blind so cannot see Ettie anymore.

Living with Iza has changed Ettie completely.

3.

Why is Lidia upset that Iza tried to give her money for caring for Vince? (from Part IV: Air, Chapter 3)

It is culturally inappropriate for money to change hands following someone's death.

She expected there to be more money because she has gone above and beyond what was necessary.

She is offended that Iza would try to give her money for something that was personally important.

It is against the rules for her to accept money from patients' families and she does not want to get in trouble.

Hypocritical.

Hypothetical.

Hypnotic.

5.

What is happening when Vince realizes that one day he and Ettie will also die, and hopes that he will not notice it? (from Part III: Water, Chapter 3)

He thoughts are tempting fate by considering his own mortality.

He is just feeling upset because Iza is leaving, and that draws his thoughts to morbid topics.

He is expressing a universal wish that does not have any particular meaning.

His thoughts foreshadow Ettie's actions in not telling him about his diagnosis.
