Main clauses express a complete thought and appear in compound, complex and compound-complex sentences. Therefore, the correct answer is all of the above. A compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses which are joined by a coordinating conjunction. A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and a dependent clause which are joined by subordinating conjunction. A compound-complex sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
Answer:
The narrative voice in this passage shows that Squeaky has little respect for people she thinks are shallow.
The quotation "a dumb question like that doesn't deserve an answer" demonstrates a lack of respect for Mary Louise. Additionally, the passage mentions that "it's not a smile at all" which describes a sense of shallowness.
So the answer is A.
hope it helps answer the question!
Scout, in her mature naivete, states what it means quite succinctly:
In Maycomb, grown men stood outside in the front yard for only two reasons: death and politics. I wondered who had died. Jem and I went to the front door, but Atticus called, "Go back in the house."
The reflects the kind of small-town mentality exhibited throughout the story. Men only call you out into your yard to relay the news of a death, or to express support or disapproval for political candidates and causes. Scout doesn't understand the true nature of the mob appearing (although she will later in the chapter), so she asks "who had died." Atticus clearly does understand, as he orders his children back into the house.
Aunt Alexandra does not directly state her thoughts on Tom's innocence of guilt, but she does express her ideas about Atticus defending him. Scout relates that she heard the end of a conversation between Atticus and Aunt Alexandra, in which Atticus tells her that he's:
". . . in favor of Southern womanhood as much as anybody, but not for preserving polite fiction at the expense of human life," a pronouncement that made me suspect they had been fussing again.
I sought Jem and found him in his room, on the bed deep in thought. "Have they been at it?" I asked.
"Sort of. She won't let him alone about Tom Robinson. She almost said Atticus was disgracin' the family Scout.
Thus, it doesn't really matter to Aunt Alexandra whether or not Tom is innocent, or whether or not he gets a fair trial. All she cares about, as she proves time & time again, is the family name. To her, Atticus' defense of a black man is akin to disgrace for an old, established family like the Finches. Of course, she may truly think Tom deserves a fair trial, but she doesn't want her brother to be the one to ensure he gets it.

Answer:
1. Onomatopoeia → The egg cracked open on the edge of the forest green dish, and the contents <u><em>sizzled</em></u> when they hit the red-hot pan.
2. Alliteration → George wanted to show Bonnie how much he loved her with breakfast in bed on her birthday.
3. Simile → He slid the spatula under the pancake on the other burner and flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.
4. Personification → Shortly after, the bagel jumped up out of the toaster,...
5. Oxymoron → The sweet bitter cranberry juice poured into a glass was final touch.,
6. Metaphor → George was no chef, but he thought it looked awfully good.
Explanation:
Onomatopoeia is known to be the formation of a word by using a sound that is associated with what it is named. e.g sizzled
Alliteration is the use of the same letter to begin words in a sentence. In this paragraph, we see alliteration used in: Bonnie...breakfast...bed...birthday
Oxymoron is known to be a figure of speech which seems contradictory e.g bitter sweet.
Personification is the figure of speech where human characteristics are given to inanimate object. e.g the bagel jumped.
Simile has to do with the comparison of two things using <em>as</em> or <em>like. </em><em>e.g:</em><em> ...</em>flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.
Metaphor is a figure of speech which compares two things in an indirect way without the use of <em>as</em> or<em> like</em>. e.g: George was no chef,...
