The following is an excerpt from a letter written by a woman in the 1930s in the Midwest to her relatives on the East Coast about the Dust Bowl:The dust has been mighty fierce. We have to keep the doors and windows shut tight, but the dirt gets right on through. When we open the door to that whirling dust, we are glad enough to run back inside with the soot all covering everything. We have to eat quick before the dirt settles on our food. You can't even see the lights in the house if you're outside it. One morning, so restless of the inside for days, I took a walk, and when I turned back I couldn't see the house. I knew the direction, so I kept on, and was close before I could see its outline. It sure made me feel lonely. What details do we know about the writer of this letter from the excerpt?
A. She felt lonely most of the time
B. She lived in a rural town, far from other people
C. She had been dealing with the dust storms for years
D. She wished to be outside more often than she was
She wished to be outside more often than she was and as much as she kept the door and windows shut the dust still gets through.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.
