We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over

an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

Answer:

The narrator prefers sand to mud.

Explanation:

This is most likely what the statement is meant to indicate. The author uses the idea of frosting and cake as a metaphor to talk about sand and mud. It is not meant to be read literally, as the topic of food is irrelevant in the text. What the author means is that the layer of sand (what would be the "frosting" in the chocolate cake) was too thin. The overall meaning is that the soil is not particularly desirable because there is not enough sand, and the author prefers sand to mud.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Option A and Option C.

Explanation:

The details from the text that supports the idea that Miss Emilie thinks Lily should be working hard while her mother does not are "I had assumed you would have come here straight from school since we only have a few days to prepare for your audition," Miss Emilie said, tapping her foot impatiently.

"Lily, sweetheart, I am worried that you are working much too hard for this audition," her mother said. "I wish you would find some perspective and realize that ballet is not the most important thing in the world."

Lily' mother and Miss Emilia had contradicting opinions regarding Lily's ballet practice. Lily's mother felt that Lily was putting too much of effort for the audition while Miss Emilie wanted Lily to put more effort so that she could make it through the audition.
