The correct answer is A. Given the boot—A shoemaker would work on boots

Explanation:

A pun refers to a humoristic, concise phrase or sentence that is created based on a word that has multiple meanings, words that sound similar or words that are closely related to others. In the case of the sentence "The shoemaker's assistant was given the boot when he was discovered stealing leather" the use of the word "boot" creates a pun because in this case the word "boot" means being fired but it is also a type of shoes which is ironic because the shoemaker's assistant probably worked with boots. This implies, the sentence that explains this pun is "Given the boot—A shoemaker would work on boots".

Which theme would be advanced by the tone in the above passage best?
marshall27 [118]

here is the full passage for this question

Richie had felt a mad, exhilarating kind of energy growing in the room. . . . He thought he recognized the feeling from his childhood, when he felt it everyday and had come to take it merely as a matter of course. He supposed that, if he had ever thought about that deep-running aquifer of energy as a kid (he could not recall that he ever had), he would have simply dismissed it as a fact of life, something that would always be there, like the color of his eyes . . . .

I believe the answer is: b.Childhood has a magical quality that slips away.

From the excerpt, we can see how Richie is mesmerized by the type of energy that he as a child could have with the things that exist in the childhood room. He probably wondering how such simple things could bring happiness to children while adults cannot achieve the same level of happiness with more extravagant things.

Answer:

The smaller states opposed the Virginia plan because that plan diminished the representation of those states before the government.

Explanation:

Vírginia's plan aimed to promote the distribution of legislative positions based on the number of inhabitants of each state. This would result in larger and more populous states having a large number of representatives within the national legislature, while smaller and less populous states would have much less representation.

The small states, feared that this would cause disproportionate policies that harmed the small states, since they would be less represented and therefore, these states were opposed to the Virginia Plan.
