An essayist is attempting to write a review of Alice Walker’s short story “Flowers.” In the essay, the essayist claims that Walker uses flowers as a symbol to represent the main character’s innocence. Which of the following pieces of evidence is not relevant to the claim?

1. “At the end of the story, Myop lays down her flowers at the dead man’s body to signify her new understanding of racially motivated killings”
2. “Myop starts the story gathering flowers that are blooming during the fall harvest. During her initial gathering, she hums a tune and plays around the farm with a childlike attitude.”
3. “It isn’t until Myop plucks the one wild rose she finds that she sees remnants of a noose and realizes the man had been lynched.”
4. “Myop lays down her flowers at the man’s feet as a way to memorialize him as if she had been gathering the flowers all along for that purpose.”
