Answer:
A. Because humans are much taller than dwarves.
Explanation:
1) A beanpole is a <em>stick</em> for supporting beans, according to the dictionary.
2) Beanpole sticks are generally 6-8 feet tall.
3) Context clues: If you do not know what "beanpole" means and don't have access to a dictionary, you can use context clues to help figure out, if not the actual meaning of the unfamiliar word, then at least a small understanding of what it could mean. In this case: "<u>Giant</u> beanpole!" We know that "giant" means big and tall, so we can surmise that "beanpole" is an addition to that descriptive.
4) As an extra assurance, in the passage, there is also "clodhopper" which is a way of saying Maibon is clumsy, but the question does not ask why Doli calls Maibon a clodhopper, so it's safe to assume that A is the correct answer.

The best example of an adverb phrase is B. Mr. Bruns had been teaching for 35 years.
This is an adverb phrase, because the phrase "for 35 years" answers the question of how long Mr. Bruns had been teaching. The verb is "teaching", and "for 35 years" modifies this verb.
