t was cold and wet, but in the small parlour of Laburnam Villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly. Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical changes, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire

Answer:

Quietly, patiently or serenely.

Explanation:

The adjective <em>placid </em>means that something is not easily upset or disturbed. As a result, since adverbs describe actions, in the  excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw" the adverb <em>placidly </em>is used to describe an action like knitting, thus indicating that the white-haired old lady is knitting in a gentle, peaceful and mild manner.

Do you believe that Ponyboy will “stay gold” or do you think that “nothing gold can stay? Give evidence from the story to suppor
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

<h3>Yes, Ponyboy will "stay gold".</h3>

Explanation:

  • Ponyboy will "stay gold" forever because he is selfless and compassionate about others. These qualities do not inhibit one's outer appearance but rather they are manifested inside us. Thus, Ponyboy would remain "gold" because his altruistic and compassionate quality would never fade away.
  • In the story, there are number of instances when Ponyboy relentlessly showed his selfless character. For instance, he never deserted Johnny nor left him all alone when Johnny was searched by the police.
  • When Johnny was in the hospital and almost close to death, he said to Ponyboy "Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold,”. It shows that Ponyboy was truly a person who was loved by many for his selfless and altruistic nature.
