How does T. Ray locate Lily?

• A. He uses a GPS tracker Lily hid.
• B. He locates Lily by calling a strange number on his phone bill; Ms. Lacy answered and told him about Lily.
• C. He trails a scent Lily left in the house.
• D. He asks the police to trace her.

Answer: (B)

Locating Lily hinges on using information found in his own records. T. Ray checks his phone bill and sees an unfamiliar number that Lily had been calling or that someone in Lily’s circle used to reach her. He then calls that number and speaks with Ms. Lacy, who tells him that Lily is with the Boatwright sisters. This moment shows how, in the story, Lily’s whereabouts are discovered through a phone record and a single conversation, not through devices, scents, or police tracing. The other ideas don’t fit what happens in the scene. A GPS tracker isn’t part of the story’s time or setting, trailing a scent isn’t how people locate someone, and having the police trace a call would not directly reveal Lily’s location the way the phone-number lead does through Ms. Lacy.
