Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Peggy is the most popular girl in the class and Maddie is her closest friend. Though Maddie is poor, Peggy never teases her as she does with Wanda so Maddie is afraid of losing her friendship. That's why she does not risk to annoy Peggy and prefers to be silent. The line, 'Peggy was the best-liked girl in the whole room. Peggy could not possibly do anything that was really wrong' illustrates this.
