1. anxious confusion
2. that shared in the general awe and terror
When looking at the options with the context clues, we can eliminate any definitions that have a positive connotation. None of the context clues indicate that consternation would be something that is good. While the first option shows a negative connotation for consternation it is not specific enough to pinpoint a meaning for the word. The context clue "general awe and terror" indicates that there is confusion.
Answer:
7 hours
Explanation:
Kelly drives 448 miles on the highway to visit her cousin. She uses cruise control to drive at a constant speed . Kelly travels 192 miles in the first 3 hours. At that rate, how long will the trip take?
Solution:
Speed is the rate of change of distance with respect to time. The speed of an object tells us how fast the object is. Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to total time take, it is given by the formula:
Speed = distance / time
From the question, Kelly travels 192 miles in the first three hours, hence her speed is:
Speed = distance / time
Speed = 192 miles / 3 hours = 64 miles per hour
At constant speed, the time taken to drive 448 miles is:
Speed = distance / time
64 miles per hour = 448 miles / time
time = 448 miles / 64 miles per hour
time = 7 hours
Personally I believe the extended metaphor could be more effective since it provides more info and meaning to the poem itself
