SAT English Practice Question

The novel’s protagonist, a young woman named Odalie, is eager to escape the monotony of her everyday life. She lives with her guardian, Tante Louise, in a grand French house with a grim sleepy tante and no companions of her own age. In the story, "Odalie" is an 1899 short story by Alice Dunbar-Nelson, who portrays Odalie as eager to escape the monotony of her everyday life. Life in the French house, for Odalie, is a “dull thing.” She is “ready for any new sensation.” In the old French house on Royal Street, with its quaint windows and Spanish courtyard green and cool, and made musical by the plashing of the fountain and the trill of caged birds, lived Odalie in convent-like seclusion.
