Drag the following terms to the correct group according to this excerpt from Little Women:"Jo's ambition was to do something very splendid; what it was she had no idea, as yet, but left it for time to tell her; and, meanwhile, found her greatest affliction in the fact that she couldn't read, run, and ride as much as she liked." (Alcott, 1868)
Group AJo was an ambitious sort who longed to do something spectacular, although she hadn't the slightest idea what this could be. She left it up to time to reveal this mystery. Meanwhile, the greatest thing that troubled her was the fact that she didn't have enough time in the day to read, run, or ride (Alcott, 1868).
Group BIn Louisa May Alcotts' Little Women, Jo is the most ambitious of the four March sisters (1868). She lives an active and adventurous lifestyle—running around outside, riding her bike, reading—and hopes to achieve something big in her future.
