Answer:

3 and 4 i think

Explanation:

Tom Sawyer stood alone at the gate spreading the narrative that he is sick to prevent his friends from suspecting that he had an eye for Becky.

  • Becky's full names are Rebecca Thatcher. She is the daughter of Judge Thatcher.

  • One of her unique traits is that she wears her blond hair in braids. She had Tom head over heels for her the moment he saw her.

  • In the 4th page of chapter 12, Tom had waited endlessly at the gate hoping to catch a glimpse of her and win her attention.

  • Several girls pass by but Tom kept up his pretense about being sick.

  • Just when he gave up, Becky appears and Tom throws off the pretense, doing everything he can to win her attention.
