not really if you are smart it means you know a lot about something.
Answer:
"Stalked off in search of worthier prey, whistling spiritedly so that the hiders should hear and tremble"/ "Where could he burrow?"/ "Ravi had a frightening glimpse of them as Raghu combed the hedge of crotons and hibiscus, trampling delicate ferns underfoot as he did so"/ "Ravi looked about him desperately, swallowing a small ball of snot in his fear."
Explanation:
Anita Desai's story "Games At Twilight" is set in an Indian atmosphere, with the children as the main protagonists. The story deals with the issues of children, their disillusioned fantasies, and the universal theme of children playing games along with their world.
The given excerpt from the story shows the children playing a game of hide-and-seek. And this scene resembles a hunting scene, where the hunter follows and captures his prey. Likewise, the hunter, in this case, is Raghu, with the "long, hefty, hairy footballer legs". And he is searching for the other children who represent the prey.
The description of not only Raghu, but the way Ravi, the protagonist describes the fear in Manu also suggests a hunting imagery. He got frightened and tried "desperately" to hide and stay away from being detected, all the while "swallowing a small ball of snot in his fear".
All these tiny descriptions makes the game sound like a hunt.

Which lines from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe" contain an example of characterization?
A. Ringed by the tall brick walls Semíramis had built—so we are told.
B. If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe.
C. The wall their houses shared had one thin crack, which formed when they were built and then was left
D. When first light had banished night's bright star-fires from the sky and sun had left the brine-soaked meadows dry
The answer to this question is B. "If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe"
Explanation:
In literature, characterization involves using details to explain the traits of characters, this includes their personality, physical traits, qualities, among others. This literary device can be seen in the excerpt "If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe" because, in this, the narrator describes Thisbe, who is one main character of the story. Also, the narrator focuses on one important trait of this character, which is her greater charm that according to the narrator could only be found in Thisbe.
