Answer:

The best answer seems to be letter A. Death may not seem friendly, but he should be treated kindly.

Explanation:

The tale of "Aunt Misery" is a short story by author Judith Ortiz Cofer. Aunt Misery is an old woman who lives alone. Her most precious possession is a pear tree. Kids from the neighborhood are constantly climbing up and shaking the branches of the tree to steal its fruit. When Aunt Misery has a chance to make a wish, she wishes that anyone who climbs her pear tree gets stuck and cannot come down without her permission. A sorcerer grants her wish, and Aunt Misery teaches the kids a lesson.

As she gets older, she is visited by Death. Aunt Misery is a very clever woman. She treats Death kindly. Instead of screaming or protesting, saying she does not want to die, that she refuses to go, she merely asks Death for a favor. Death agrees to climb up the pear tree to pluck some pears for Aunt Misery. He gets stuck and only gets permission to climb down many years later, after agreeing to not take Aunt Misery.

It was Aunt Misery's attitude toward Death that prevented her from being taken by him. Even though he looked "suffocated and exhausted", Aunt Misery allowed him into her home. Even upon his revealing who he really is, she is still nice to him. If she had been rude, she wouldn't have tricked him into letting her live.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

B) She ruled the bright clouds that gleam in the summer sky and caused them to pour their showers on meadow, forest, and mountains.

Explanation:

This option seems to be the correct one as it gives the information in a

very articulated, and concise way. Also, the option is properly punctuated. Removing "where the mountains were" to just make it "mountains" makes the most sense and is more appropriate

How does Linda’s grandmother shame Dr. Flint?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Linda's remark that the candelabra will probably be handed down from generation to generation underscores the fact that Linda's family has been denied a family legacy. This issue is compounded when Dr. Flint not only refuses to repay Linda's grandmother, but he sells her instead of the candelabra for a mere $50.
