Answer:
the letter
Explanation:
"the letter" is the direct object because it is receiver of Neville Longbottom's action.
The committee does not agree among themselves about the plan.
Answer:
The best option is: "b. as an alluring display".
Explanation:
Although letter "a" is a possible answer, it is not correct to state that because Nature is not a piece-giving gift for the characters in this passage, as they are more close to admire the beauty of the scene rather than feeling that inside of their own senses. Letter "c" is not possible because the characters are not "detached observers", they are living and going through Nature very close. Letter "d" does not make sense as an answer because Nature is not portrayed as bothersome, it is the contrary. Therefore, letter "b" is the best option for it presents the natural environment as an alluring and enchanting display, as almost a cool painting.
Answer:
In my opinion, it could be D.
C is wrong just by using common sense, B and A doesn't make much sense either. But D seems reasonable.
