Answer:
blank verse, ballad stanza,ballad stanza
C. mi bisabuela is the correct answer
The author Anita Desai had a lot of changes in pace during Games at twilight. Some of the changes of pacing are:
1. The kids are about to play hide and seek and they are excited and the pace of the story is fast. But as soon as Ravi hides the pace is slow and the story tends to get contemplative and it slowly connects to the thoughts and Ravi's memories.
2. One of the changes in pace that is most exciting is when Ravi finaly decides to finish the game by going to the post and say Den!. By the time he says that, the other kids cannot recognize him. A lot of time has passed and now the kids don't even recognize him. It is such an exciting change of pace and time.
The reader may interpret the story in different ways due to the fact that the perspective of Ravi is in a different pace of the other kids perspective.
Some of the examples of this change of pace are:
- <span>It took them a minute to grasp what he was saying, even who he was.
</span>- Ravi had never cared to enter such a dark and depressing mortuary of defunct household goods seething with such unspeakable and alarming animal life but, <span> Ravi suddenly slipped off the flowerpot and through the crack and was gone.
</span>- <span>for minutes, hours, his legs began to tremble with the effort, the inaction. By now he could see enough in the dark to make out the large solid shapes of old wardrobes, broken buckets, and bedsteads piled on top of each other around him. He recognized an old bathtub
</span>- <span>It grew darker in the shed as the light at the door grew softer, fuzzier, turned to a kind of crumbling yellow pollen that turned to yellow fur, blue fur, gray fur. Evening. Twilight.
</span>- <span>It took them a minute to grasp what he was saying, even who he was. They had quite forgotten him.</span>

1. They can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing till they arrive at six years old; except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier.

NUMBER 1:
This satire is talking about how poor people only earn through stealing at an early age. From the choices, we can see two options (A and F) which are talking about robbers but only one of them is the true subject of the text. Since the text is talking about a stereotype of the poor as robbers, option A is more appropriate for this item.
ANSWER: A. the general perception of all poor as thieves and robbers
NUMBER 2:
This piece of text is hinting that most children have parents who are not married (clue word: seldom). The text also hints that the "savages" do not care about that fact. Among the options, two are talking about marriage (C and D). However, among these, only choice C accurately encapsulates the subject of the text.
ANSWER: C. the perception that Irish families lack a regard for the institution of marriage

Choices E and G talk about husbands and wives but choice G captures the subject of the satire more.
ANSWER: G. poor husbands' low opinion of their wives
