Select the correct text in the passage.

After reading the title of the passage, Jolie predicts that someone in the text will be angry. Which sentence in the passage best confirms her prediction?

No Take Backs

Not four feet separated us

when you spoke those fatal words,

the corners of your mouth quivering

I wanted to snatch them from the air,

make you take them back,

and return to a time

when every word you uttered

rang clear and pure and true

But the great ticking clock

that marks our minutes and hours

plods relentlessly forward

And there are no take backs

Byrd · Answer 2

I think the most possible answers would be 'When you spoke those final words' and 'The corners or your mouth quivering'

Explanation:

I believe the best answer for this would be 'The corners of your mouth quivering' since the action of the body language confirms how the character is feeling.
