English

padilas [110]2 years ago

This paragraph develops the characters in the dialogue by showing that Adam is afraid of what is in the water, but Laura is fearless and likes to tease him. Thus, option "C" is correct.

<h3>How, explain your answer?</h3>

This text is providing characterization by telling the reader how differently the two characters react to their environment in a narrative of events.

Adam is shown as fearful through indirect characterization:

"stepped ... carefully;"

"winced;"

"nearly screamed."

On the other hand, Laura is directly described by the narrator as someone who "wasn't afraid of anything." Other hints from the text signal to the reader that she is enthusiastic and adventurous:

"She was the type to dive off a cliff and not even think about what was in the water below;"

"it’s so cool!"

Her "scooping a crab into her hand" and bringing it closer to her face is what is interpreted by the narrator as teasing because Laura is gently mocking his fears by showing how close you can get to what Adam perceives as a danger.

Thus, option "C" is correct.

The passage first identifies the problem as the tires "piling up in empty lots." Then it is explained how those tires got there: the cause. The author says that since "it is expensive and dangerous to dispose of tires" people don't dispose of them and they just keep piling up. Then the passage ends with a solution. The author mentions how tires can be shredded and turned into rubberized asphalt for paving projects.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Answer

A refutation is a kind of counter argument. You are opposing an answer by denying it  and offering evidence to show it is not    true.

Concessions is not quite the same thing. You are letting go of part of an argument so that you can hold on to the better part that could win.

ELA highschool question and answer .
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: She takes her responsibility to look out for Raymond seriously.

Explanation:

Squeaky does not think that girls smile at each other genuinely.

It is a fascinating idea. Squeaky seems to be saying that she and the other girls her age don't grin at each other genuinely.

Squeaky does not feel a relationship with anybody her age, especially girls. Especially, she is frustrated because she has no close female friends. While she acts brave, it is evident to the reader it causes distress for her.

For Squeaky, a smile is related to trust and respect. She trusts and respects Raymond because she trusts and respects him. As soon as the race was over, she was stunned by the results, understanding Gretchen, finally realizes to respect and trust Gretchen, making them smile at each other. Now, she thinks of Gretchen as a friend.
