I was walking to the nearest phone booth to call the landlady, when I heard that kettle's horrific scream behind me.
In this first example, the author has used personification (giving human characteristics to an inanimate object) to describe the kettle as "screaming." Using personification like this is an effective way of conveying the narrator's feelings, as those feelings seem to be manifested in her perceptions of the environment around her. The demonstrative pronoun "that" in this particular quote also attributes a special significance to this kettle, implying that it has already been the cause of some upset. The kettle is personified throughout the story, often as "that evil kettle" or "the demonic kettle." In fact the repetition (another common language convention in literature) of the personification arguably.

a. tolerates
Explanation:
The blank links a subject (new variety) and an object (heat). Thus, we need a verb. We can strike out b and d, which are not verbs.
Excellent. Let's take a look at the two verbs of a and c. The difference between these two is that one refers to a singular subject, and the other refers to a plural one. What is the subject in this sentence (that the ... verb is referring to?) It is "new variety", or rather "variety". This is a singular noun (even though variety refers to more than one thing. Be careful!) Thus, since we have a singular noun, we need to use the singular verb which is a) tolerates.
Hope this helps!
