Question

To be used with "Dark Star" passage: Which line from the text best supports the idea that Giselle’s passion for horses and riding outweighs her concern for personal safety? Question 2 options:
"It had been almost four weeks since she’d ridden Dark Star, and Giselle was adamant that her broken arm would not inhibit her riding."
"Once outside and out of view, Giselle climbed the railings of the corral fence, clambered up on the bay, and wriggled into position on the horse’s back."
"The girl glanced toward her small ranch house at the base of the sloping hillside, then back at the man. ‘I’ll be okay. The snow’s melted, and there’s no ice.’"
"…Giselle had reached an agreement with the Fletchers about the equine’s care—a daily ritual that for Giselle became as easy as breathing the country air.

Answer 1

Answer:

"It had been almost four weeks since she’d ridden Dark Star, and Giselle was adamant that her broken arm would not inhibit her riding."

Explanation:

This is the line from the text that shows that Giselle is so passionate about horses and riding that she sometimes is careless about her safety. In this line, we learn that Giselle really misses riding and cannot wait to ride Dark Star again. Therefore, she decides to go riding even though she has a broken arm. This can be very dangerous, and serves as evidence of how careless Giselle can be when it comes to her personal safety.
