- B. 'I counted the days until I could leave.'
- C. 'The town had two thousand people and one traffic light.'
- D. 'My father worked at the mill for thirty years.'

Naming the town's hardships and refusing to trade them away is affection.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 'I counted the days until I could leave.'
- Counting the days to leave is resentment or restlessness, not affection.
- C. 'The town had two thousand people and one traffic light.'
- A neutral description with no attitude.
- D. 'My father worked at the mill for thirty years.'
- A fact about the narrator's father, not the narrator's feelings about the town.
