Answer: A - agitation

Explanation:

We noticed synonyms in the passage as it calmed down, as it was not calm; convulsively - another synonym for agitation; an intelligible prayer - with a sense of agitation.

Answer:

C) Happiness

Explanation:

The word "felicity" refers to "happiness." In this excerpt, the author wants to show that the person in question went from a feeling of agitation and stress to one of happiness. We can also observe this in the fact that the person suddenly "became calmer and more happy" when he realized that he was actually happy, or that he was in a state of "felicity."

I would say that the best theme to address those key points listed, would be: A. Feeling hopeless is unreasonable when faced with challenges.  In other words, we shouldn't feel as if the end of that world is at hand, just because challenges and tests come our way.  That is to be expected.  Hope that helps.

Read this excerpt from Little Women.
masha68 [24]

Answer:

I think Meg learns a bit more about the lesson that Marmee teaches them

Explanation:

In the text, It says nothing about Amy being "helpful, or generous" but it does say that she wants to have nicer things and be a part of higher society.

In the text, it does say one thing about Meg. She returns with the well-to-do moffats. Which I think, she returned ONLY because of the well being of the moffats, which is a family. So she did something good in my opinion.

Although I am not sure of the meaning of, " She returns with the well-to-do moffats" So do please correct me if I am wrong

How does the author characterize Theseus in the story? Cite evidence from the text in your response
PolarNik [594]

The author portrays Theseus as a flawed human being. In early adventures, Theseus proved that he was a 'hero' but it wasn't until he slew the minotaur he became a legend, the living embodiment of braveness. However the author also made sure to mention that he deserted Princess Ariadne and even killed her father without much thought in order to allow the reader to understand that this so called hero although brave is far from perfect.

Hope this helps!
