Snezhnost [94]

When considering why Henry was irritated with his mother in The Red Badge of Courage, the most effective reading strategy to realize this is reading between the lines to infere. At any moment it is said that he feels irritated with her, but there are two instances in chapter 1 that shows that. The first one is when he prepared himself emotionally for a warm welcome from his mother and she seemed cold and far away from him, while the other is when he was about to leave to the army and his mother gave him a moral speech. 'It had not been quite what he expected.' Whe can infere that he expected a hug, a kiss and an <em>I love you</em>, instead of rules of good behavior.

igomit [66]

Answer: The word "invigorating" would leave the reader with a more positive impression about the coffee than the word "acidic."

Explanation:

The adjective "acidic", in this context, is used to describe a drink that has a sour taste. If a coffee is sour, it means that it is not prepared properly, or that the coffee prepared is of a low quality. On the other hand, word "invigorating" has a more positive connotation. If something is invigorating, it gives us strength and makes us full of energy. This is exactly what people usually expect from a coffee. Having this in mind, word "invigorating" would certainly leave a reader with a positive impression about the coffee and its smell.
