Lemmings are notorious for following the crowd, usually in the form of flinging themselves off a cliff. So, the best answer here is your third choice, snickering about Colin behind his back. Since it's saying that everyone is doing it, this implies that everyone is following the crowd by doing it.

The other answer choices don't make much sense. Knowing a lot about the Magna Carta or even everyone raising their hands or staring at their shoes doesn't imply any type of herd mentality. It implies that people are familiar with the subject or don't want to seem like they know the answer. All of these are normal reactions when in a classroom setting and even in a business setting.

It conveys admiration.

The author uses the words champion, winning, remarkable achievements, and extraordinary. They all have very strong connotations of success and positivity. This immediate eliminates option A. Option B is also not correct because they do not show curiosity. We also don't see true excitement. If the author wanted to convey a sense of excitement in the paragraph there should also be exclamation points. These words convey admiration for the person Thurgood Marshall was and his achievements.

Write a short story which ends with the statement “Now I know no man can be trusted’

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lincoln was my friend. My best friend, if you would. We grew up together, and I can't remember when last I called him Lincoln. I always called him Link. Link was more or less my brother, I knew everything about him in his life, and so does he me. We often sleep over at each others.

I met my girlfriend, Sara at a game. We got talking and seemed to genuinely like each other, a few months of telling Link about her, I finally introduced them to each other. Every other thing went as much as I'd expect. Meanwhile, Link was never the type that had a thing for girls, he preferred being alone than commiting to anyone.

Few months into I and Sara's relationship, Sara had moved in with me and we lived as though we were a couple. On this fateful morning, I went out to work. I forgot an important file at home, and as I was rushing to clock in at work, I couldn't do back immediately. I resorted to checking back at lunch break. At lunch, I raced home in my car to get my file. I had my keys, and didn't bother knocking on the door. What I saw was to my biggest dismay. I saw link forcefully having his way with Sara, despite she crying and begging him not to.

I was dejected and betrayed. I would never have thought Lincoln could do that to me, just not him. There and then, it dawned on me no one could be trusted.
