Which of the following is the most reasonable prediction a reader might make based on genre characteristics of fiction and evidence in this specific passage from the text A. Mrs. Sappleton has lost her mind.

B. Mrs. Sappleton’s husband is still alive.

C. Mrs. Sappleton’s niece is a liar.

D. Mrs. Sappleton is not nice.

Based on the genre characteristics of fiction, a reader would predict that Mrs. Sappleton has lost her mind. Option A is the right answer.

This can be predicted by how much she believes in a false reality. Her husband and sons have dead for years after they went out and suffered a mishap.

Years after this accident, Mrs. Sappleton still talks like they had just left the house and they would soon be back. She even leaves her window open because according to her they would soon be back home and they would come in through that way.

She does this daily. This shows the reader that she has lost her mind. She is no longer in a right frame of mind.
