1. The problem asks: Which sentence from the text best supports the inference that Cammy is not allowed to play with her mother’s jewelry? 2. To solve this, we need to find a sentence that implies Cammy must be careful or secretive about using her mother's jewelry. 3. Let's analyze the options: - a) "Cammy checked the clock and saw that it was only 4:32." This sentence only tells us the time, no implication about permission. - b) "Without makeup, Cammy had to pretend a little harder, but she still felt like a movie star." This talks about makeup and pretending, not jewelry. - c) "When she saw that the coast was clear, she carefully flipped open the lid of her mother’s jewelry box." This sentence implies Cammy is being cautious and secretive, suggesting she is not allowed to use the jewelry openly. - d) "Then, Cammy placed a thin chain with a silver pendant around her small neck." This describes an action but does not imply permission or restriction. 4. Therefore, the best supporting sentence is option c. Final answer: c) When she saw that the coast was clear, she carefully flipped open the lid of her mother’s jewelry box.
