Maribel relaxed on her porch takin in the evening air, which seemed only slightly cooler than the day.  She watched the fireflies dart over the grass.  Maribel caught one to have a closer look, and it glowed in her hand.  Fireflies are only little beetle, she thought, but somehow, they capture people’s imaginations.  She let the beetle go and went back into the house feeling happy.

• It gives her a place to sit and watch fireflies.  This makes her happy.

• The house is too warm so she goes outside.  There she relaxes.

• It is almost time for her to go to bed.  She goes inside to get ready.

Mirabel resented her older sister treating her like a baby.  She knew she was quite capable of preparing for the family celebration without assistance.  Mirabel gathered the colorful tablecloths and decorations and headed outdoors.  As she passed her sister, Mirabel noticed her sister’s expression.  She thought perhaps her sister’s comments came more from a desire to participate than to criticize.  Mirabel nodded at her sister and held open the door.

 

What is the significance of Mirabel holding open the door?

• It shows she is going outside to decorate.

• It shows she is welcoming her sister’s help.

• It shows she wants to get away from her sister.
