Answer:
The excerpt that foreshadows that residents of Maple Street will turn against Les Goodman is, “He always was an odd ball. Him and his whole family. Real odd ball” (Sterling). This is because it singles him as the odd one out very early in the story. The only reason that they all turned on Les is that the neighborhood acts like a mob. If you are the outcast then you are the one that is singled out first. In summary, with the mob mentality, the odd ball, as Les is, is turned against first because they are the easiest target.
C, because the other choices are not that interesting nor important
Answer:
1. Because she studied (a positive), but couldn't (a negative word), it means that you must use "but" or another word to describe it:
Lara studied several hours every night, but she couldn't earn higher than a B on the daily quizzes.
2. This is a run-on sentence, because it is best to separate both of them. However, if added together, there is need of a comma:
After Audie Murphy had proved himself a true hero in World War II, he became a hero of the silver screen in many actions films.
3. Again, this is a run-on sentence in which it would be best to separate both of the sentence fragments. However, since this is not an answer choice, it is best to separate using a comma:
The invention of the telescope led later astronomers to the discovery of countless celestial objects, yet it failed at the time to bring its inventor the recognition he was due.
4. He awoke from his nap while riding in the passenger seat of the car, Brian was surprised to discover that his father had driven several hundred miles.
"When he awoke from his nap" is a better choice, because while it describes the past, it should be put from a present-time view, which means that it must connect to the present-time from the past.
