Killing Mr. Griffin Chapter 12

Mark felt that Sue wouldn't be able to handle the situation of burying Mr. Griffin and would likely break down and reveal their secret. Therefore, he made the decision to not have Sue come with them to Mr. Griffin.

Jeff realizes that Betsy likes Mark and not him when talking to her at the picnic area.

When Betsy first sees Mr. Griffin, she comments about the flies on him, which suggests that he may be dead or decomposing. After making this observation, she mentions that she is going to the river, indicating that she is likely going to wash away the flies or clean herself. This response implies that Betsy is repulsed by the sight of Mr. Griffin covered in flies and wants to distance herself from the situation.

David puts Mr. Griffin's jacket on him when they were burying him.

David stood up for Sue in the car ride to Mr. Griffin.

The correct answer is "recognized Betsy." This suggests that the policeman at the end of the chapter identified or remembered Betsy, possibly due to her appearance or some previous encounter. This implies that Betsy may have some significance or connection to the storyline, which could potentially lead to further developments in the plot.

In this chapter, Mark's personality underwent a transformation as he became excited and alive from the situation. This implies that something happened or a situation occurred that sparked a positive change in Mark's demeanor. The details of what exactly caused this change are not provided, but it can be inferred that Mark's enthusiasm and liveliness were a result of a positive experience or event that took place in the chapter.

Mark believed that Betsy would be a less suspicious choice to drive Mr. Griffin's car because she was a girl. He thought that the authorities would not suspect a girl's involvement in the crime, so he chose Betsy to drive the car.

The correct answer is "Wipe away their fingerprints." This suggests that David and Betsy are trying to remove any evidence of their presence in Mr. Griffin's car. This action implies that they may have engaged in some sort of illegal or suspicious activity, as they want to avoid being linked to the car.

Mark believes that they should send Mr. Griffin's checks and credit cards to a friend in Denver, CO. for him to use them.

The answer "Yes" indicates that Sue did end up telling the police what Mark asked her to. The additional statement "Part of it. The other part just slipped out." suggests that while Sue did disclose some information, she unintentionally revealed more than intended.

Based on the given options, Jeff is the first person to shovel.
