Answer:
A
Explanation:
Both of the authors use non-English words in their writing. According to the content of the paragraphs, these words are associated with Mexican and German heritage. Some examples of these words that we can see in the two passages are: pachuco, oom-pah, and gordita.
Figurative language is also present in the passages. For example, we see personification used when the trees are described as 'American' and they also dangle their branches as if they were arms.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
He explains that's how he's feeling in the play.
The first prediction is extremely unlikely. Daniela is described as a "smart and sweet-faced girl" which would make no sense if she somehow behaved "spitefully toward him [Danny]". I can only see the second prediction happening if this were a cheesy cliche romance novel. However, logically this cannot happen, as Daniela was shy and joined no clubs, which limits her ability to gain friends. It would be unlikely if they ever met. Therefore, the prediction that would most likely happen would be the third one. It cannot be the fourth one as Danny has "good humor" and has a nice personality; he would not dislike Daniela with this type of attitude.
The answer is that Danny and Daniela will never meet and become friends.
An impression means that there is an opinion taking place, and is often not what you would call facts.
1. Almost bizarre quality about the general's face.
One is opinionated, Rainsford finding him to be bizarre. It cannot be considered anything other than an impression because finding something to be weird is not something every person can agree on. This is an impression Rainsford had from the actions General Zaroff took.
4. The face of an aristocrat
Similarly, number four is also opinionated. There is no real "face" to an aristocrat, and so the line merely implies that Rainsford felt as if with a face like that, General Zaroff could be an aristocrat. This means that this one is also an impression Rainsford had been able to draw from observing him.
Numbers two, three, five, and six are not the correct answer. These answer choices do not provide an impression, and instead explain what is happening in a scene. Anybody in a room would be able to agree that the Cossack had put away his pistol, and that the general had turned to him and made a sign. Numbers two and three are both describing how General Zaroff looks, and although it seems a bit personally detailed, anybody would be able to look at his face and point out that Zaroff has thick eyebrows, black hair, and dark eyes.
This is why the only applicable choices would be one and four.
