To determine which sentence from the novel "Johnny Tremain" in Chapter 5 provides evidence that Rab is having a positive effect on Johnny, let's analyze the options and consider the contextual clues.

A. "He liked to make a handsome entrance. Even if he and Goblin had dawdled a bit on country roads, they both liked arriving at the inns at a gallop."
This sentence primarily focuses on Johnny's personal preference and does not provide direct evidence of Rab's influence on him. It is unrelated to Rab's impact.

B. "For the first time, he learned to think before he spoke...In the past, he had never given anyone time to apologize."
This sentence demonstrates that Rab's presence has influenced Johnny positively. It indicates personal growth in Johnny, as he has learned to be more thoughtful and considerate, allowing others to apologize when necessary. Therefore, this sentence provides evidence of Rab's positive effect on Johnny.

C. "The arrogance had always been there, but formerly it had come out in pride in his work - not in the way he wore his hat and walked."
This sentence implies a change in Johnny's behavior, but it doesn't specifically point to Rab as the cause or indicate a positive effect.

D. "He was happy because once more they were insulting him. They were not pitying him or being afraid of him because he had an accident."
This sentence reflects a change in Johnny's emotions but doesn't directly indicate Rab's influence or whether it is positive or negative.

Based on the analysis, option B, "For the first time, he learned to think before he spoke...In the past, he had never given anyone time to apologize," provides evidence that Rab is having a positive effect on Johnny.

No. I read Johnny Tremain almost 70 years ago.
