B) escape from their enemies by jumping away

Escape is spelled correctly in the excerpt. Escape does not have an x. This means option A is wrong and B is correct. C is also wrong because of the spelling of escape and also because it uses the wrong there. In the sentence, their is a possessive adjective. It shows that enemies "belong" to the monkeys since they are the enemies of the monkeys. There means a place, as in over there. They're is a contraction meaning they are. Option D is wrong because of the spelling of escape and the apostrophe in enemie's. An apostrophe is used for contractions or to show ownership. The enemies do not own anything and it is not part of a contraction.

Answer:

B) escape from their enemies by jumping away

Explanation:

Escape from their enemies by jumping away is the correct answer because although many people mispronounce the word, there is no x in escape. "Their" is correct because it is a possessive pronoun that tells whose enemies. "Enemies" is a plural noun and does not need an apostrophe.

PART A: How does Leita's character change throughout the story ? ( The Third Wish)

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Leita's character changes throughout the story in the following manner:

C. Leita goes from enjoying her life with Mr. Peters to missing her life as a swan.

Explanation:

Mr. Peters and Leita are characters in the short story "The Third Wish", by Joan Aiken. Leita was originally as swan. She was transformed into a woman after Mr. Peters, who was granted three wishes by the King of the Forest, uses his first wish. He asks for a wife as beautiful as the forest.

At the beginning, Leita enjoys being a human and being married to Mr. Peters. She is a good wife to him, and she seems happy. But it does not take long for her to start missing her old life as a swan. And she begins to spend more and more time by the river to stay with her sister, who is still a swan.

Mr. Peter asks Leita if she has stopped loving him, but she says she hasn't. She still loves him. Then he asks if she wants to go back to being a swan, but Leita believes that wouldn't be fair to him. She cares about him too much to simply leave him. However, Mr. Peter eventually does wish for her transformation. She is grateful and, along with her sister, remains by his side even as a swan.

Taking the details above into consideration, we can eliminate options A, B, and D. She does not resent him in any way, nor does she stop loving him. Option C is the best answer: Leita goes from enjoying her life with Mr. Peters to missing her life as a swan.
