Which detail from paragraphs 9-10 best explains the main reason Zitkála-Šá seems soothed?
[9] From the table we were taken along an upward incline of wooden boxes, which I learned afterward to call a stairway. At
the top was a quiet hall, dimly lighted. Many narrow beds were in one straight line down the entire length of the wall. I was
tucked into bed with one of the tall girls, because she talked to me in my mother tongue and seemed to soothe me.
[10].... My long travel and the bewildering sights had exhausted me. I fell asleep, heaving deep, tired sobs. My tears were
left to dry themselves in streaks, because neither my aunt nor my mother was near to wipe them away.
