Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the C) "like startled rattlesnakes, the long / naked arms uncoil."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answers, it can be added that the two halves of a castanet, which can be made out of wood or other material, are joined by a cord that usually goes around the thumb, while the other fingers tap the surface, creating a very characteristic and cheerful sound. In the poem, the speaker compares this sound and visual image of the dancer playing the castanets to surprised rattlesnakes that unfold in an (usually frantic) movement.

What does this quote mean?
aev [14]

Answer:

Tools that are sharp (eg knives) get dull as you use them, but when you speak sharply (in a bitter or critical way) often, you overall tend to speak that way more. So, instead of getting less sharp, your tongue is getting sharper.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Rzqust [24]

The correct answer is "Admittedly, we cannot reuse or recycle all of the materials we use in our daily lives"

Explanation:

A counterclaim always states the opposite point of view of the main claim. Also, counterclaims are often used in speeches or texts to explain opposite points of view and reinforce the claim by disproving counterclaims.

This implies the counterclaim should attack or disprove recycling. According to this, the sentence in blue that introduces the counterclaim is "Admittedly, we cannot reuse or recycle all of the materials we use in our daily lives" because those who oppose recycling often claim not all materials can be recycled, and therefore this is a counterclaim or opposite point of view. Additionally, after the claim, the author disproves this by mentioning "We should reuse and recycle the materials that we can and try our best not to purchase materials and products that can’t be reused or recycled."
