.A. because action words describe the action or doing of something. In the sentence Michelle runs every day at five o'clock. Run is the action word because it is describing what she is doing.
Is this middle school work?
A quotation is the exact words used.
<u><em>“But wherefore art not in thy shop today? / Why dost thou lead these men about the streets?</em></u>
<u><em>Answer: (But why aren’t you in your shop today? Why are you leading these men through the streets?)</em></u>
I would say her claim is odd because in the whole book the towns pople are showing hostility and anger towards people of color and to atticus when he defends the colored person. So they are being racist and yet miss gates says that they are not showing any signs of persecution when the definition for it is hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of race or political or religious beliefs.
Hope this helps!
