Answer:
According to the excerpt from "The Golden Cat", a poem by Oliver Herford, the meaning of the figurative language in lines 5 and 6 simply means that
The sun does not appear all at once. It starts gradually from the edge of the dark horizon.
This is evident from Line 5 which states that He stretches forth his paw at the dawn.

Answer:
The setting helps create a mood in the sense that:
C. The author's use of dark and stormy location, set a dangerous and foreboding mood.
Explanation:
<u>Setting can be defined as the "where and when" of a story</u>: the place, the time in history, the social context and so on in which the story develops. Description of the setting can, among other things, help create the mood of the story.
<u>In the line "It was a dark and stormy night, as the captain steered into the crashing waves," the way the author has chosen to describe the setting conveys a sense of danger. It is dark and stormy. The waves are crashing. We can easily imagine an angry ocean and how dangerous it is to be on that ship right now. It must be terrifying, and we would feel the imminence of a tragedy. </u>That is why letter C is the best option for this question.
Answer:
Lizabeth's character develops in the sense that:
C. Lizabeth learns that sympathy and understanding come from recognizing the truth about other people.
Explanation:
Eugenia Collier's short story "Marigolds" takes place during the Great Depression. The main character, Lizabeth, is a 14-year-old girl who lives in a poor neighborhood. The poorest and ugliest of the houses belongs to Miss Lottie, however it is the house that has a most beautiful garden full of marigolds. Lizabeth, her brother, and the other kids in the neighborhood often throw rocks into the garden and call Miss Lottie a witch.
<u>The main theme of the story is about maturing and developing empathy for others. Lizabeth, while throwing a tantrum, completely destroys the garden of marigolds. It is only then that she realizes she was simply projecting her anger about her family's awful situation in life. She is finally able to see that Miss Lottie's garden brings a little bit of beauty into this miserable world, where poor people can only remain poor. Lizabeth leaves her childhood behind when she understands who Miss Lottie is, as well as herself.</u>
I would use the context clues that lead to the answer of D.
