Question: 343
1. The birthmark on Georgiana's face had the shape of a
- A. rainbow
- B. rose
- C. hand
- D. butterfly
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C is correct. The first sentence describes the birthmark as a “crimson hand, which at first had been strongly visible upon the marble paleness of Georgiana’s cheek.” The birthmark fades like “the stain of the rainbow fading out of the sky,” but it is not shaped like a rainbow, so choice A is incorrect. The birthmark fades to “the faintest rose color,” but is not described as having the shape of a rose, so choice B is incorrect. There is nothing in the passage to suggest that the birthmark is shaped like a butterfly, so choice D is incorrect.
