Read these lines: "Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail. His eyes were fixed upon Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read, and it terrified her. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor disapproval, nor horror, nor any of the sentiments that she had been prepared for." What can be inferred from the list of feelings the look was not?

1. She had rehearsed a set of likely reactions, and the quoted lines run through them one by one. 2. Every one of them is ruled out, and the sentence ends by ruling out anything else she had prepared for. 3. A look she cannot place must therefore come from something outside what she knows. 4. That is option C, and the rest of the scene shows what it is, since he has sold his watch. 5. Option A is ruled out because his eyes are fixed on her and the look terrifies her. _Source: O.
