Answer: D) Comforted.

Explanation: Based on the given excerpt from Patricia Smith's "Talking Wrong" instead of being ashamed of her mother's accent (like other people could be when a close person doesn't talk or behave the way everyone else do, in the country or region where they live), she seems to be comforted by the way her mother talked, because she compared her accent with a beautiful view of the Alabama fields.

Answer:

The setting in this excerpt reveals:

C. a lack of sophistication.

Explanation:

The excerpt offers details of how rudimentary the table, dishes and cutlery were. There is no sophistication; everything about them is rustic - the materials as well as the way they are made. There is wood, horn, pewter.  There is a table carved with a broad-axe. There are hunting-knives instead of table knives. If something broke easily - and the author says crockery did -, it was discarded. Durability and usefulness were priorities.

In Roald Dahl's short story: The Landlady, Dahl's antagonist is very forgetful. She continues to forget Billy's name. She states
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Idiom

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • allusion
  • apostrophe
  • hyperbole
  • idiom

Idioms are phrases that don't have a literal meaning. This means that we can't conclude what a phrase means based on the meanings of words that make it up. We simply have to learn what these phrases mean.

An example of an idiom is <em>in one ear and out the other</em><em>.</em> This doesn't mean that something enters through one and exits through the other ear. Actually, this expression refers to an instance when someone ignores, dismisses, or forgets something almost immediately after being told. In this case, Dahl's antagonist keeps forgetting Billy's name instantly after hearing it.
