Answer:

C. When I looked into the small rectangle, I saw a face looking back at me but I didn’t recognize it.

Moreover, to make the sentence structure parallel, all of it clauses being changed to past tense. Out of the given options, only C has correctly written sentence in past tense (all clauses changed to past tense). Options A, B, and D have at least one clause not changed to past tense. SO they are all incorrect.

Which word best completes the sentence below?
Gemiola [76]
For the first part- luscious seems to fit the gracious description of the pastries.

And for the second question I'd say 'Gentle or friendly criticism or advice.'

Admonition is to advise or warn someone.

A key word from the passage to support my answer would be the word 'nudging' because when you think of the action of nudging it is a gentle motion of contacting with something.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

An archetype of Good Mother.

An anonymous Vietnamese mother.  

Mirikitani's grandmother.

Explanation:

Janice Mirikitani's poem "Attack the Water" is a short, stacked poem about her own grandmother and how she resembles the face of a woman she saw in a newspaper. The poem shows the suffering and pain of war, especially during the Vietnam war.

In the poem, Mirikitani recounts how the face of an old woman she saw in a newspaper resembles that of her grandmother. Obachan, the Japanese word for grandmother, took care to feed the younger ones, even "eat[ing]" maggot-infested rice to feed the children. This picture of maternal love and care is significant for the grandmother represents an archetype of a mother, while the man source of all this imagination is an anonymous Vietnamese mother. It also took the speaker back to her own grandmother.

Thus, the correct answers are the first, second, and fourth options.
