Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. When William Lee reached Goll's drugstore, he was gasping for air and frantic. In a breat

hless voice, Lee demanded the key to the alarm box that was mounted on the outside of the store. Bruno Goll refused to hand it over, insisting that a fire truck had already passed. Lee had no time to argue with Goll. He was too concerned about the safety of his family, so he hurried back to them almost immediately. He got there just in time to see the fire taking hold of his neighbor's shed and fence, while the breeze blew a rain fire on his property. Two things were very clear to Lee: first, despite what Goll had said, no fire engines had arrived, and, second, his house was about to catch fire. Why was William Lee frantic and breathless when he first arrived at Goll’s drugstore?
A. He was angry at the owner for refusing to sound the alarm and for lying about the fire engines.
B. He was confused about who had informed the firefighters of the fire and why there were trucks driving by.
C. He knew there was a fire burning near his home, and he wanted to sound the alarm as quickly as possible.
D. He knew that the fire would be massive and firefighters would not be able to control the flames.

I have a quiz can someone help me ?
Likurg_2 [28]
For that first one the answer would be the third choice.  Throughout the story, Anne would continually write in her diary which proved her as an excellent writer.   For the second one, probably the first choice, due to the fact of that long time that everyone was staying in the Annex, it was super depressing.  For the last one, I'm not really sure, but I'll guess the third choice.  I hope this helps, and please mark as brainliest if possibly correct. THX!

In order to complete the dialogues between Connie and John and between Erica and Manuel, we must take the context into consideration.

The answers to the first dialogue are:

  • What’s on your mind?
  • Yeah, right! One year is long?

The answer to the second dialogue are:

  • That’s good. Now what should we do?
  • I think I’m going to make the chicken salad

<h3>What is a dialogue?</h3>

A dialogue is a conversation that takes place between two or more people. For this question, we must choose among the answer choices provided which ones best fit the blanks, so that the dialogues make sense.

In order to choose the best answers, we must take the context of each dialogue into consideration. That means we must read the whole dialogue to find clues as to what is going on:

  • In the first dialogue, John clearly does not think Connie should buy a new parka. She thinks it is absurd to wear something from last year, but he does not.
  • In the second dialogue, Manuel clearly says something that leads Erica to talk about the menus. He also mentions chicken all of a sudden, which means Erica must say something related to chicken as well.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the correct answers to complete the dialogues are the following:

  • What’s on your mind? (first dialogue)
  • Yeah, right! One year is long? (first dialogue)
  • That’s good. Now what should we do? (second dialogue)
  • I think I’m going to make the chicken salad (second dialogue)
