They would be on him any minute now. His mind worked frantically. He thought of a native trick he had learned in Uganda. He slid

down the tree. He caught hold of a springy young sapling and to it he fastened his hunting knife, with the blade pointing down the trail; with a bit of wild grapevine he tied back the sapling. Then he ran for his life. The hounds raised their voices as they hit the fresh scent. Rainsford knew now how an animal at bay feels.
He had to stop to get his breath. The baying of the hounds stopped abruptly, and Rainsford's heart stopped, too. They must have reached the knife.

What is the meaning of the word baying as it is used in the passage above?

howling
luring
silence
scampering

In line 6, Annie says she “just escaped the whitewashed, brick-walled, iron-gated prison that is commonly known as middle school
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

A. Critical

Explanation:

Annie uses the words "iron-gated prison" to describe the middle school. Obviously, middle schools are not literally prisons, but when described as prisons, one can believe that Annie truly felt as if the institution limited her freedom and kept her "chained" to schoolwork.

With this kind of attitude toward school, it would only be natural for the answer to have something to do with dislike.

B) Annie doesn't feel hesitant (which means cautious) because she clearly expresses her thoughts very bluntly.

C) She is definitely not regretful because she's glad to have "escaped" from the school.

D) If Annie is not regretful, then she cannot be devastated (which, in this scenario, is basically just a more extreme version of regretful).

Thus, the answer is A (critical) because she's very keen on pointing out the negative aspects of the school.

Hope this helps!
