nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “the trouble with you is that youre afraid to be yourself. youre smart. and you could be pretty. in fact, you might be more than pretty.” i felt myself turning red61. the author was angry because _.a. the class made fun of herb. carlos was too rude to herc. she had to carry many booksd. reed harrington didnt date her62.which of the following about carlos is not true?a. he was popular.b. he was new in the school.c. he was shorter than the author.d. he was chosen president in the school elections. 63.the underlined word “ touchy” in paragraph 8 probably means_a. moved b. cheerful c. curious d. annoyed64.we can infer from paragraph 4 that the author _.a. cared much about reeds attitude b. hoped reed was laughing with othersc. thought reed was the same as others d. couldnt stand carlos playing tricks on her65.according to the text, which is the most likely ending?
