Answer:
Anna Avalon saved the narrator from the house fire that must have been started by the ashes that her father must have thrown in the bin. She took off her own clothes, and with just her inner-wear, she jumped through to the window with the help of a half broken ladder and brought the little girl safely down.
Explanation:
The narrator of "The Leap" Louise Erdrich tells of how she was indebted to her now-blind mother for her very existence. Not only once, but thrice is she indebted to her for the life she is living now.
One such incident was when she was seven years old. The narrator was asleep on the first floor of the house when a fire started and engulfed the whole house. It also burned the only stairway that led upstairs. The babysitter had called the emergency workers and had gone outside. When the narrator's parents came, her mother Anna Avalon decided to take things on her own and jumped into the room through the window. Using her past training as a circus performer, <em>"she made her way up and, along her stomach, inched the length of a bough that curved above the branch that brushed the roof"</em>. Then she took the narrator and "<em>flew</em>" out of the window and safely into the firefighter's net, thus saving her life.
“Sons abandon their fathers without emotion.”
To conclude that the prisoners are emotionally numb, you would use keywords/phrases. In the quote above, words such as “abandon” and “without emotion” show that the characters are void, show no remorse as they do not care. They are numb. -Can’t feel anything.
“The men tell each other to have courage” does not quite fill the line for “emotionally numb” as though they are probably feeling a sense of dread. Trying to encourage each other for the future.
<span>B) And in a hall far brighter
than Woden’s Valhalla, the brave and good will be gathered forever.</span>
<span>Answer “B” is correct because
the way the sentence originally appears is with an error in parallelism. For a sentence to be parallel, it should have
list items (note that a list/series is two or more items) appear with
same/similar grammatical elements. The
original—“brave warriors and those who were good—consists of an adjective|noun (brave|warriors)
followed by and adjective|pronoun|verb|adjective (thoses|who|were|good), which is
thus not paralle. To correct this, as
well as make this more concise, you can just use adjectives—“brave” and “good”—and
that will make this sentence’s list parallel. </span>
