She often illustrated her letters to child friends with little animal drawings and told them stories about these animals. 3) One day in 1893 she wrote to a little boy called Noel Moor.

The letter began with the words: "I don't know what to write to you so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter."

Answer 2

Давайте сопоставим названия с текстом:

1) Her greatest interests - Beatrix was fond of two things: animals and drawing. She had a lot of small pets at home and did hundreds of drawings of plants and animals from a young age. She often illustrated her letters to child friends with little animal drawings and told them stories about these animals. This reflects her greatest interests in animals and drawing.

2) Beginning of a writer - The text mentions that Beatrix Potter became a professional children's writer after the success of her now-famous children's book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit," which she wrote eight years after the letter to Noel Moor. This marks the beginning of her career as a writer.

3) School friends - Beatrix did not go to school but had classes at home. The text doesn't emphasize her interaction with school friends; instead, it focuses on her love for animals, drawing, and her correspondence with a little boy named Noel Moor.

4) Early years - The text talks about Beatrix Potter's early years, including her birth date (6th July 1866), her being the only daughter of rather rich parents, and her not attending school but having classes at home. This information provides insights into her early years.

5) Story for a young friend - In 1893, Beatrix wrote a letter to a little boy named Noel Moor, who was ill. In the letter, she told the story of four little rabbits, including Peter Rabbit, and illustrated it with drawings. This letter eventually led to her famous children's book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit." So, this choice corresponds to the specific event of writing a story for a young friend.

One extra option is present in the list (c) - School friends. This doesn't align well with the information provided in the text, as Beatrix did not attend school but had classes at home. Therefore, (c) is the odd one out.
