Which of the following statements best explains why Claudette never loved anyone more than Mirabella in that moment (paragraphs 79-81)? "The steps!"
"Steps?" then Jeanette gave me a wide, true wolf smile. For an instant she looked just like our mother. "Not for you," she mouthed back.
I threw my head b. ack, a howl clawing its way up my throat. I was about to lose all my Skill Points, I was about to fail my Adaptive Dancing test. But
before the air could burst from my lungs, the wind got knocked out of me. Oomph! I fell to the ground, my skirt falling softly over my head.
Mirabella had intercepted my eye-cry for help. She'd chewed through her restraints and tackled me from behind, barking at unseen cougars,
trying to shield me with her tiny body. "Caramba!" Sister Maria squealed, dropping the flashlight. The music ground to a halt. And I have never
loved someone so much, before or since, as I loved my littlest sister at that moment. I wanted to roll over and lick her ears, I wanted to kill a
dozen spotted fawns and let her eat first.
O A. Claudette had been avoiding Mirabella and felt guilty
B. Mirabella stopped the party that Claudette had never wanted to be at
C. Mirabella saved Claudette from embarrassment and reprimand.
D. Claudette wanted to be wolf-like again with Mirabella
