Answer:

To demonstrate empathy for Aunt Alexandra.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this is that Aunt Alexandra is a traditional woman who cares about what other people say about her. She shows she cares about the situation, and the involvement in it.

(Hope that makes sense and it helps <3)

Answer:

The author would show Scout behaving like a lady during Aunt Alexandra's circle, even though she hates doing so:

* to demonstrate empathy for Aunt Alexandra

* to show Scout is growing and maturing

Step-by-step explanation:

In chapter 24 of "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, the character of Scout has a turning point in her personality after seeing some realities that she had ignored so far from the word of "ladies" she had always been a tomboy and admired the behavior and interaction between man for considering it more honest but when she saw how her AUnt interacted as a lady and defend what she believed in she took her as a role model and decided to act like a lady.
