Answer: A. Different emotional states affect people’s honesty.
This excerpt states that when people experience different emotional states, their levels of honesty fluctuate too. When people are anxious, stressed out due to the expectations of others, or angry, they are more likely to be dishonest. Therefore, theft and other similar behaviours increase around holidays that rely on these feelings, such as Christmas and Valentine's Day. However, when people are more cheerful and relaxed, dishonest behaviour becomes less common.
Answer:
C. I hope Tea Cake isn't going to use this against me.
Explanation:
This question refers to Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God". The novel follows Janie's life, her maturation and transformation throughout years.
This particular question refers to the situation when she found a gun under her husband's pillow.
This worries her greatly, because her husband's infected with rabies, has rage deliriums and exhibits great amount of jealousy, so Janie doesn't know what to expect nor can she believe him. Just in case, she secretly turns the pistol's barrel and sets it to snap before firing a bullet, which proves she was afraid for her life.
I am gonna go with C because I believe A,B, and D are adjective clauses.
