How old was Sakura when she ran away from home?

• A. 14
• B. 15
• C. 16
• D. 17

Answer: (B)

Understanding a character’s age at a pivotal moment helps you place the action in the right part of their life and explains why they make certain choices. In this story, Sakura runs away from home when she is fifteen. The text ties that decision to her late-teens phase, a time when independence can feel urgent and the future feels uncertain. That age conveys the sense of a teenager reaching for autonomy, and it fits the timeline and circumstances the narrator describes. Since the story explicitly states she was fifteen at that moment, that reading best matches the events and how they unfold. Other ages would mismatch the described timeline and the character’s development in that scene.
