Question

Which quotation from the text best supports the inference that, at first, Mariah doubts Jordyn’s sincerity? 100 POINTS


"Less pleasant was the part where some of Jordyn’s 'crew,' as she called them, showed up and seemed standoffish with me, like they wished I weren’t there."

"The end-of-summer party was awkward, no doubt about it. Jordyn’s crew and my friends in one place together never got quite as comfortable as I would have liked, but I do think her friends had fun, and I know mine did."

"The first day, Jordyn split the cabin into teams and told them they would compete for points—like the house cup in Harry Potter—although when I pointed out the connection to the story, she didn’t really know what I meant."

"I assumed Jordyn’s offer to introduce me to her world of sports was about as legitimate as her promise to finally read Harry Potter."

Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence which indicates that Mariah is not yet ready to publicize her friendship withh Jordyn is the following:

Less pleasant was the part where some of Jordyn's "crew", as she called them, showed up and seemed standoffish with me, like they wished I weren't there.

This sentence shows that Mariah felt uncomfortable in front of Jordyn's friends and in this way she realized that she wasn't ready to let people know about her friendship with Jordyn yet. Publicizing their friendship was unexpected and unplanned as Jordyn's friends appeared uninvited and this situation made Mariah feel unwanted.
