The Thing Around Your Neck

PART B: Which quote from the text best supports the answer to Part A?

“When, at eleven, Nnamabia broke the window of his classroom with a stone, my mother gave him the money to replace it and didn’t tell my father.” (Paragraph 8)

“My father asked Nnamabia to write a report: how he had pawned the jewelry, what he had spent the money on, with whom he had spent it.” (Paragraph 4)

“The only time I asked him if he was in a cult, he looked at me with surprise, as if I should have known better than to ask, before replying, ‘Of course not.’ I believed him.” (Paragraph 12)

“My father knew, too. He pointed out that the window louvres had been slipped out from the inside, rather than from the outside” (Paragraph 3)

part A is "She describes her parents as never holding Nnamabia responsible for his actions or allowing him to experience consequences."
