Question 96

An original account of an invented basket-repair workshop.

Leila threaded a fresh willow strand through the old basket. Her first pull was tentative: she tightened the strand only a little and watched the rim. When it held its shape, she pulled again with more force. The basket was the only surviving example from the workshop, so every adjustment mattered.

Explain what the writer means by “tentative” and what Leila is likely to do if the rim begins to change shape.
