Read the excerpt from "The Willow-Wren and the Bear.” When the time came for the war to begin, the willow-wren sent out spies to

discover who was the enemy's commander-in-chief. The gnat, who was the most crafty, flew into the forest where the enemy was assembled, and hid herself beneath a leaf of the tree where the password was to be announced. There stood the bear, and he called the fox before him and said: 'Fox, you are the most cunning of all animals, you shall be general and lead us.' 'Good,' said the fox, 'but what signal shall we agree upon?' No one knew that, so the fox said: 'I have a fine long bushy tail, which almost looks like a plume of red feathers. When I lift my tail up quite high, all is going well, and you must charge; but if I let it hang down, run away as fast as you can.' When the gnat had heard that, she flew away again, and revealed everything, down to the minutest detail, to the willow-wren. When day broke, and the battle was to begin, all the four-footed animals came running up with such a noise that the earth trembled. The willow-wren with his army also came flying through the air with such a humming, and whirring, and swarming that every one was uneasy and afraid, and on both sides they advanced against each other. But the willow-wren sent down the hornet, with orders to settle beneath the fox's tail, and sting with all his might. When the fox felt the first string, he started so that he lifted one leg, from pain, but he bore it, and still kept his tail high in the air; at the second sting, he was forced to put it down for a moment; at the third, he could hold out no longer, screamed, and put his tail between his legs. When the animals saw that, they thought all was lost, and began to flee, each into his hole, and the birds had won the battle. Which evidence best supports the conclusion that this story was written for children? The story is set in a forest. The battle was won by a trick. The excerpt describes a battle. The characters are talking animals.

Answer: D) The characters are talking animals.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given excerpt from "The Willow-Wren and the Bear" we can see an example of personification, because all the animals can talk (and have other human characteristics). The talking animals is the evidence that best supports the conclusion that the story was written for children, because it is a very common characteristic of children's stories.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

We have to use a spell to make them balance:

"Stay where you are until our backs are turned!"

Explanation:

The lines selected above show the part of the poem where the speaker shows that he is having fun repairing the wall. We can see this because these are the only lines that present a tone of relaxation and joviality, which contrasts with the more serious tone presented in the previous lines. With this, we can see that the speaker sees this moment as a distraction and a novelty, which can be enjoyed and fun.

The chaotic tone of the passage above would also be appropriate for
Verdich [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

D. a story set during a major battle.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chaotic tone of the passage is one of panic, emergencies, accidents, bravery, fear and much more, all of which can be associated with a story set during a major battle.

Even the instances from the passage attest to that with danger lurking all around, people trapped in a supposedly safe zone until it no longer remains safe, the emergency equipment, like the emergency radio in the passage, the urgency of the situation wherein Juan needs to go check up on his mother who's alone "out there", chaos among people, etc. The mood of the passage is tense and there's a sense of impending disaster in the undertone of the passage, which further relates to a story set during a major battle.
