English

MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Anna, the mother in "The Leap," is characterized by her courage. As a young woman, she was a circus performer, already an activity that requires strength of character to take part in. Her act involved performing high above the crowd, leaping from beams and trusting her husband to catch her—something that took phenomenal courage. The fact that this activity could have ended in Anna's death is made explicit when her husband is killed after lightning strikes the tent. Anna does not lose her courage when she loses her husband and her baby, however. Instead, she is able to continue, and have another baby, the narrator. When their house catches fire, Anna is courageous enough to endanger her own life by leaping to the window of the burning house to save her daughter. The narrator feels embarrassed for her mother that she is wearing only her underwear to do this, but Anna has no thought of this—she is thinking only of her daughter. Finally, as an older lady, Anna remains courageous. Now blind, she uses the skills she learned as a young woman to help her navigate the world unaided, even though it must be a frightening place without sight.

Fiesta28 [93]
A, C and D are incorrect. The question mark belongs after the question, not at the end of the sentence.

Answer: B) <span>"Are you a doctor?" she asked.

Why?

Because the question mark is placed inside the quotation marks after the end of the question. Thus, the answer is B.</span>

It can't be D. She's not choosing to live the way she does. It's forced on her.

I don't get the impression she farms.
