What promise does Zach make to Lily?

• A. He promises to find her again one day
• B. He promises to write to her
• C. He promises to keep her secret
• D. He promises to take her on a trip

Answer: (A)

This question tests your understanding of a pivotal moment that shows the strength of Lily and Zach’s connection and Zach’s determination to stay part of her life. The promise he makes is that he will find her again one day. That small vow carries a lot of weight: it communicates his belief that what they share is worth pursuing despite the barriers of time, distance, and the racial tensions of their world. It’s a gesture of hope and commitment, signaling that their bond isn’t over just because they’re apart.

The other possibilities don’t fit the moment as it’s presented in the story. He doesn’t vow to write to her, keep a secret, or take her on a trip; the specific pledge he makes is about seeking her out again in the future.
