1. The problem asks which sentence best supports the inference that Cammy is not allowed to play with her mother's jewelry.
2. To answer this, we look for a sentence that implies Cammy must be careful or secretive about the jewelry.
3. Sentence (c) says, "When she saw that the coast was clear, she carefully flipped open the lid of her mother’s jewelry box." This implies she is cautious and possibly not allowed to access it freely.
4. Therefore, sentence (c) best supports the inference that Cammy is not allowed to play with her mother’s jewelry.
5. The second question asks if Cammy has pretended to be a movie star before.
6. Sentence (b) states, "Without makeup, Cammy had to pretend a little harder, but she still felt like a movie star." The phrase "pretend a little harder" suggests she has pretended before.
7. Thus, yes, Cammy has pretended to be a movie star before, as indicated by her needing to pretend harder without makeup.
Final answers:
- Best supporting sentence: (c)
- Cammy has pretended to be a movie star before, supported by sentence (b).
