Read the excerpt from Homecoming.

At half-past eight, Dicey herded everybody back into the mall, to use the bathrooms they had found earlier. Later, Sammy and Maybeth fell asleep easily, curled up along the back seat. James moved up to the front with Dicey. Dicey couldn't see how they were both to sleep in the front seat, but she supposed they would manage it. James sat stiffly, gripping the wheel. James had a narrow head and sharp features, a nose that pointed out, pencil-thin eyebrows, a narrow chin. Dicey studied him in the darkening car. They were parked so far from the nearest lamppost that they were in deep shadows.
With her brothers and sisters near, with the two youngest asleep in the back seat, sitting as they were in a cocoon of darkness, she should feel safe. But she didn't. Though it was standing still, the car seemed to be flying down a highway, going too fast. Even the dark inside of it was not deep enough to hide them. Faces might appear in the windows at any time, asking angry questions.

Based on the excerpt, which best describes Dicey’s mood?

A.She is very worried about what would happen to her family.
B.She is in denial about her family’s present circumstances.
C.She is trying to stay upbeat and carefree whenever possible.
D.She is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all situations.

Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. All that day Mowgli sat in the cave tending his fire-pot and dipping dry branches into it to see how they looked. He found a branch that satisfied him, and in the evening when Tabaqui came to the cave and told him rudely enough that he was wanted at the Council Rock, he laughed till Tabaqui ran away. Then Mowgli went to the Council, still laughing. How does the ending of this excerpt create tension and possibly lead to further conflict? Mowgli is about to meet the wolves, who are his friends and want to make him their new leader. Tabaqui is leading Mowgli to the Council Rock and will protect him from the wolves. Mowgli, armed with fire, is about to confront the wolves and Shere Khan, who want to kill him. The wolves are waiting for Mowgli to bring them the fire he stole from the village.​

Answers

Answer:

Mowgli, armed with fire, is about to confront the wolves and Shere Khan, who want to kill him.  

Explanation:

At this point in the story, Mowgli has learned that many of the younger wolves fear him as he is growing into a man. Their leader, who loves Mowgli, is getting old and will soon be replaced. Mowgli steals fire from the village and takes it to to Council Rock to prove his superiority over the animals. The wolves and Shere Khan are waiting there for him. Most of the wolves there want to kill Mowgli, as, of course, does Shere Khan.

The piece of cake was heaven.

A.personification

B.hyperbole

C.metaphor

D.simile

Answers

Answer:

Hyperbole

Explanation:

It’s over exaggerating the piece of cake

Answer:

C. Metaphor

Explanation:

Let's go through each answer together.

A. Personification: Personification is when an inanimate object is given human quialities, or does human things. (Do you see the word person in personification?) For example, if I said my pencil was running away from me, it would be personification. A pencil can't actually run! But I'm sure you understood what I was describing anyways. Heaven is not a uhman quality, so it isn't personification.

B. Hyperbole: A hyperbole is when you exaggerate something. So, if I said that my the dog was 10 feet tall, I would be using a hyperbole. We both know the dog couldn't actually have been 10 feet tall. But, you understood that the dog must have been huge. We don't do this with the cake!

C. Metaphor: It's easy to get confused between metaphors and similes. A metaphor is when we say object A IS object B. For example, The sky was an endless pool. A sky can't actually be a pool, but we're saying that it is anyways. We want to make a point! This is what is happening in the question. A cake can't actually be heaven, but now we see that the cake must have been extremely good.

D. Simile: A simile is like the metaphor's sister. They're very similar, but similes are different in this specific way. ALL similes use either "like" or "as". For example, the house was like a fire. We're not saying the house is actually a fire, we're saying that it was LIKE a fire. They're both hot! To find similes, make sure to look for "like" or "as"- our example sentence has neither.

Hope this helps & feel free to ask for any clarification!

Adult
(Roles and Responsibilities as son/daughter)​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The roles and responsibilities played at home and both teens and adults.

Adults are generally charged with the coordination and managerial aspect of an establishment including our homes, this is because of the overall maturity which an adult is expected to portray, which is essential in keeping and running our homes.

Adults are expected to provide sustenance for the home in terms of food, clothes, bills and so on. The financial responsibility to a large ge percentage should rest on the shoulder of the male adult with the female coming in when necessary.

Also, managing the kids in terms of care and ensuring their well. Being rests largely on the female adults.

Security of the home is for the adults to oversee and the male should be in charge.

Teens are supposed to be taught by their parents and adult superiors how to be responsible. Hence, house chores such as dish washing, lawn mowing and other petty house chores should be assigned to them. The more draining ones such as lawn mowing to the male teens and the less strenuous to females.

Select the best answer to the question: What is an example of a fortuitous event? *

showing up on time for a date
forgetting to take out the trash
comforting a friend who is feeling sad
running into an old friend who is in town for one day

Answers

Answer:

Running into an old friend who is in town for one day.

Explanation:

The term "fortuitous" refers to a chance occurrence, a surprising and unexpected event that happened, a fortunate event. This word is used to talk about things that happened unplanned and completely unexpected.

A fortuitous event means an event that happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that it leaves you shocked and completely unforeseen. Such an event is wholly unexpected and surprising. So, running into an old friend who's in town for a single day is a fortuitous event, for it is a chance encounter and not something that happens often or even planned.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
