Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers,

which I know about. People think they cut down trees so they can build dams, but in reality it's because their teeth never stop growing, and if they didn't constantly file them down by cutting through all of those trees, their teeth would start to grow into their own faces, which would kill them. That's how my brain was. Which line best reflects the ambiguity of this excerpt?

Answer:

"I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers."

Explanation:

Ambiguity can be defined as a stated that has more meaning than one.

<u>The phrase that reflects the ambiguity in the excerpt is the first option that states </u><em><u>"I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers."</u></em>

The phrase is ambiguous because the narrator is trying to say that just like beavers never stop getting tired of chewing hardwoods because of new growing teeth, he is never tired of inventing things. When the narrator started inventing things he could not stop just like a beaver does not stop.

So, the correct option is the first one.

Zinaida [17]

"The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger" is a story by L. Frank Baum.

The story begins at the palace of the Emerald City, where princess Ozma lives, in the middle of the land of Oz. The lion and the tiger take care of the princess, however, no one ever attacks her or threatens her, as she is loved by everyone. This means that both the lion and the tiger are very bored with their lives and do not feel respected.

This leads them to talk and they decide that they will attack someone just to prove that they should be feared. The tiger decides he wants to eat a baby and the lion decides he wants to tear a person to pieces.

Both cats leave the palace and wander around the streets, until they hear a baby crying. As they turn the corner, they see a baby on its own. The tiger goes over to him, but does not eat him. Instead, he protects it. The mother sees this and runs towards the baby, but falls. The lion then helps the woman up.

Seeing how good they are, the woman thanks them. They go back to the palace and discuss what happened. Although they are both embarrassed by their inability to be scary, they conclude that it is better to be cowardly than to be evil, and to be hungry than to be cruel.
