No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her
- 00:59
infancy would have supposed her born to be an heroin
- 01:04
You can tell this is written in British Americans All
- 01:07
right well let's think about it Throughout passage the narrator
- 01:09
make statements about Catherine Moreland's family personality and you know
- 01:13
inclinations which she immediately contrast with those of a heroine
- 01:18

- 02:05
point made in her first two sentences So get rid
- 02:07
of B If anything narrator understates Katherine's abilities calling her
- 02:11
occasionally stupid in line thirty five So we just get
- 02:15
rid of that in a duck with a left hook
- 02:17
that's coming in our heads So that's it The answer 00:02:19.118 --> [endTime] is D is in dog
