"Incredulous" means that a person is skeptical about something, or that he finds something hard to believe. In this case, the character is incredulous about his ability to hold his breath without strain for two minutes. This means that he finds this fact difficult to believe, as it is so amazing to him.

Incredulous means suprised or that you find something unbelieveable. In this context a good synonym would be "shocked" or "stunned."

What mood or atmosphere, do the sensory details help to create?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

D. Reflective

Explanation:

As you can see in the text above, upon hearing the humming of bees on your wall, the narrator begins to reflect on the sound and the presence of bees there. This reflection makes the narrator perceive feelings regarding the observation and admiration of the bees' ability. In addition, the narrator reflects on how the biology of the bees would interfere with the structure of his house, transforming the walls into honeycombs.

This all causes a reflective tone in the text, which can involve the reader in analyzes and interpretations about the text.

Statements such as always, everybody, and never are cue words for which of the following?
AnnZ [28]
Words like <em>never, always, everybody, </em>etc. are absolute nouns and adverbs. In argument, these are usually a sign of over-generalization. These words alone cannot be considered as any kind of appeal (emotional, logical or ethical) since these appeals are done depending on how you use these words, not on the meaning of words as stand-alone.
