"dear loyalty, that suffered a sharp pang as the guest went away disappointed later in the day, that could have served and followed him and loved him as a dog loves! many a night sylvia heard the echo of his whistle haunting the pasture path as she came home with the loitering cow. she forgot even her sorrow at the sharp report of his gun and the sight of thrushes and sparrows dropping silent to the ground, their songs hushed and their pretty feathers stained and wet with blood. were the birds better friends than their hunter might have been—who can tell? whatever treasures were lost to her, woodlands and summer-time, remember! bring your gifts and graces and tell your secrets to this lonely country child! " what does the passage suggest is sylvia's feeling about the ornithologist's departure? a. she regrets missing an opportunity for friendship with someone who is as interested in nature as she is. b. she is sad that he didn't get to study the white heron. c. she is worried that he will come back and cause her to have feelings for him again. d. she is concerned that he will come back, capture the heron, and use his research to earn money and fame. a. is correct

A.She regrets missing an opportunity for friendship with someone who is as interested in nature as she is.

In the passage it says that she "suffered a sharp pang as the guest went away". This would show that she did not want him to leave. This eliminates options C and D as those options do not indicate that she wants the ornithologist to stay. From this passage, we also do not know anything about a white heron. This leaves the only possible answer to be option A.
