1 "I hear it's someone's birthday today," remarked Ms. Perkins, the secretary, as Benjamin exited his mother's office. This was

a disadvantage of having your mom as your school principal—the faculty knew everything about you.
2 "I'm eighteen today," Benjamin replied with an embarrassed grin.

3 "Well, you don't look any different than you did yesterday," Ms. Perkins joked as she signed his hall pass.

4 Later, Benjamin caught his reflection in the cafeteria window and thought about what Ms. Perkins had said. Today, he was officially an adult, but he didn't look any different. He still had the same dark, disheveled hair and the same inquisitive eyes that were so large they sometimes seemed disproportionate with the rest of his face. He was the same height, and he still had the same prominent chin.

5 He also didn't feel particularly different. Benjamin could vividly recall the exhilaration he'd experienced on the morning of his tenth birthday. He'd bounded out of bed and basked in the knowledge that he was now one of the big kids. Benjamin felt as if he could do anything in that moment, but he didn't feel that immeasurable sense of joy today—and he couldn't help but wonder why.
What is the purpose of the dialogue in this passage?

A To reveal what Benjamin is thinking

B To show the reader the depth of the relationship between the character

C To reveal the premise of the passage- Benjamin's birthday

D To explain the internal conflict of the main character

Which detail uses sensory words to describe Akela? Father Wolf waited till his cubs could run a little, and then on the night of
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The detail that uses sensory words to describe Akela is:

C. out at full length on his rock.

Explanation:

Sensory words are words or phrases that appeal to one of more of our five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Having that in mind, we can use elimination to answer this question:

A. a hilltop covered with stones and boulders - may appeal to sight, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.

B. who led all the Pack by strength and cunning - does refer to Akela, but does not appeal to any of the five senses. The words "strength" and "cunning" demand a different kind of interpretation from readers. This option is incorrect.

C. out at full length on his rock - this is the correct option. We can imagine Akela lying down on the rock; we can even see the position of his body because of this description. Imagine your dog or cat, for instance, lying down on the floor, with his/her belly's whole extension touching the floor.

D. from badger-coloured veterans - again, does appeal to the senses, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.

Which statements help to describe/define symbolism? Select all that apply.
Ber [7]

The statements that help to describe and define symbolism are the following ones: The use of objects to represent abstract ideas and the use of a heart to stand for love in a piece of visual art. The fact is that symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas and features by means of giving them symbolic meanings that differ from their literal sense. It can take different forms: It can either be an object, an action or a word representing something else that has an entirely different meaning that is much deeper and significant.
