Screech! Karen stomped on the gas pedal the moment the light turned green. She looked over her left shoulder and zigged past a s

emi-truck. She zoomed ahead and looked over her right shoulder and then zagged past a motorbike. She glanced at the clock on the console and darted into the parking lot. Whipping into a parking spot, she grabbed her suitcase and ran through the lot, up the escalator, and into the terminal. Her heavy suitcase was bumping and bouncing the whole way. Just as she entered the terminal, she heard an announcement over the loudspeaker, "Final boarding call for flight 205 to JFK..." Karen looked at her ticket and then at the line to get through the security checkpoint, which wrapped around several turnstiles and slithered like a lethargic snake. Karen sighed and then slowly walked to the customer service desk.Why does she start walking slowly at the end of the passage?a. Her friend flew to another airport.b. She missed her plane.c. She decided not to travel anywhere.d. She would rather stay home.

Answer:

b. She missed her plane.

Explanation:

At the start of the passage, we read that Karen was in a hurry. She drove really fast <em>"zoomed ahead and [.....] zagged past a motorbike"</em>. This is also supported by the use of the words "<em>darted</em>", "<em>whipping</em>", "<em>ran through the lot, up the escalator and into the terminal</em>". These words all show that she was in a hurry to be on time for her flight.

When she heard the final call for <em>"flight 205 to JFK"</em> and looked at the line for the security checkpoint, she knew she had no more time to get into the plane. So, she walked slowly to the customer service desk.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

Read this excerpt from Helen Keller’s autobiography The Story of My Life.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

She recognizes the connection between objects and words.

Explanation:

Helen Keller had already begun forming letters with her fingers, so water was not the first word she wrote.

Helen had broken the doll way before she went to the well. In fact, she forgets the frustration she felt before after she touches the doll and she says she regretted the doll after.

The honeysuckle thing is irrelevant to this question.

Helen could not understand the connection between words and objects because mug and water were essentially the same thing to her. Once she was away from the vessels, the jugs, mugs and saucers, and felt the water in the well gush in between her fingers, Helen understood "water" but more importantly, she understood words.
