The best answer is
<span>The author uses indirect characterization to describe how Millicent feels.
While the author's description of the ceremony gives the idea that Millicent probably looks pretty gross, with egg on her head and whatnot, the passage mainly gives the reader an empathetic view into Millicent's experience.
The scene is described as sounds and sensations from Millicent's point of view. She feels her stiff hair, and the cold egg on her back, hears the stifled laughter and crunch of the egg breaking. We can imagine the intensity of the experience, blindfolded and hearing, feeling, and probably smelling the unpleasant experiences during this initiation.
In the end, the passage concludes with: "</span><span>It was all part of the ceremony." This final sentence may relay how Millicent is processing the unpleasant initiation, rationalizing that this is just a step on her way to being part of the group. </span>
Answer:
B). Rising action.
Explanation:
Rising action is described as the element of narrative that involves a chain of events taking the narrative towards the climax. It primarily functions to develop tension and interest in the narrative that builds the interest of the readers through the major decisions and characters' flaws.
In the given question, the excerpt from the poem exemplifies the 'rising action' as it involves significant thoughts of the protagonist 'Banished to the outfield and daydreaming Of water', 'Would suddenly..Barone', etc. <u>that takes the poem towards the climax('transfixed by easy arc before it hit My forehead with a thud') and create tension, suspense, and interest in the narrative</u>. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
I believe there is a mistake in your choices, because I don't see the correct choice here. The correct answer should be ABAB ABCB.
This is because in the first stanza, the first line A (son) rhymes with the third line A (shun), and the second line B (catch) rhymes with the fourth line B (Bandersnatch) - which makes the first stanza ABAB.
In the second stanza, the first line A doesn't rhyme with anything (hand), the second line B (sought) rhymes with the fourth line B (thought), and the third line C doesn't rhyme with anything - which makes the second stanza ABCB.
