Answer:

c."It's bad enough wasting time without killing it."

Explanation:

An idiom is a phrase whose meaning may not be deducible from the literal words used. 'Killing time' is an idiom which means wasting time. the phrase was used by the watchdog in the book the phantom tollbooth. An idiom is used for humorous effect when it evokes laughter in the audience.

The dog's purpose was to make sure that people do not waste time. So when he was told that he was killing time he became annoyed and made the statement, "It's bad enough wasting time without killing it."

Katniss’s first reaction when she hears the news about the rule change is to call out Peeta’s name, despite the dangers of alert
Airida [17]

Answer:

<em>Katniss has said in both The Hunger Games and Catching Fire that she does not know how she feels for him. So there is the evidence for that, and, in other times during Catching Fire, she has deeply wanted Peeta to lay with her at night. Majority, almost all of the time, it was for comfort from her nightmares. But, also, sort of near the end in Catching Fire, in the Hunger Games with the victors, Peeta had massaged a tense spot in her shoulders, and she relaxed. There is many areas in the first two books that shows she does truly love Peeta, but there are also other times that she shows she would rather be with Gale. But, I have seen much more of her loving Peeta rather then Gale. She admitted in book one not all of the love for Peeta was fake. I think that is evidence as to why I think there is more to it then her wanting to seek him out for District twelves forgiveness. </em>
