Answer:

Derided

Explanation:

The word "derided" most closely resembles the word "mocked." To deride means to laugh at in contempt or to mock. In this passage, we learn that the character feels himself to be a creature driven and derided, or mocked, by vanity. If we are not able to look a word up in the dictionary, context clues can often give us an inclination as to what the meaning of the word might be.

How is Roosevelt’s claim about progress represented by the themes, characters, and events of “Autumntime”? Use RACE2S to answer
MissTica

The theme of Autumntime represents progress because if nature is not valued and protected ,nature which is present in the world today may not be present in the future.

Textual Evidence:  A. Lentini writes, <em>“In the yard was a live tree—an oke was what Mom called it. When the news of the tree’s discovery leaked out, quite a few sightseers stopped by to have a look at it, and the local government, realizing the money-making potential, began charging admission and advertising the place. By now it had become a favorite spot for school field trips and family excursions such as ours.“ (‘Autumntime”)</em>

<em>The teller of the book Autumntime means that real live trees are rare in his community . People in society felt that buildings were more important than nature and  trees were no longer valued .One tree remained in that community  and soon that tree will be gone as well.</em>
