Okay, an antecedent of a pronoun is always a noun, so immediately you can reject the words late and wandered as incorrect answers, because late is an adjective, and wandered is a verb. This leaves us with two nouns, guests and party. Obviously, the pronoun several refers to the noun guests, so the correct answer is guests - that is the antecedent that corresponds with the pronoun. Several guests, not several parties.
Answer:
looked like as if she was nervous and anxious.
an effort she put to avoid making August feel insecure and judged.
Explanation:
In the book "Wonder", Mrs. Gracia ‘shiny smile' looked like as if she was nervous and anxious not to offend or act differently in front of August.
Though she had been working and taking care of all sorts of children in the school for so many years, August was quite different and extraordinary.
Mrs. Gracia smile could be understood as an effort she tried to make in order to avoid making August feel insecure and judged. She already knew August's circumstances, therefore, she put up with a ‘shiny smile'.
Whitman uses visual, auditory, and tactile imagery in the poem's first stanza. When he says "The ship has weather'd every rack", he conveys the feeling of exhaustion. (The ship is, of course, an allegory of America, whereas the Captain stands for President Lincoln, who was just assassinated.) "The bells I hear" is an auditory expression, which supports the people's exaltation, but also resembles the sound of death bells which mourn the Captain's death. The vessel is "grim and daring", grim because the trip had been extremely hard, but the cause was daring. "The bleeding drops of red" is a striking image of the tragedy of Lincoln's death. The blood was shed, so it was not a natural death. The Captain is "cold", which is an example of tactile imagery.
As a whole, this stanza juxtaposes two kinds of mood: the exaltation about the Captain's glorious deeds, as well as pathos and tragedy because of his death. The imagery makes the poem all the more exciting, as it lets us see, hear, and feel the speaker's state of mind - which is a fusion of personal and collective feeling toward America's journey to freedom and Lincoln's pivotal role in it.
Well although the two are very close in comparison, an autobiography is a book that the author writes about their whole lives and themselves while a memoir is only part of the author's life that he writes about. Hope that helps!
