Well in this chapter its not one person who is not home. Bilbo gets everyone on an adventure so it the heat of the chapter i guess nobody is REALLY home.
This sounds like a great question to answer about the reliability of Nick as a narrator. On one hand, he seems to be a very honest character. But, on the other hand, he will always have an innate bias based on his feeling towards certain characters and events.
The answers are choices 1,3, and 5 for anyone else looking.
Hello!
In the first excerpt, I'm assuming that the underlined word that you are unsure of its meaning is cloy'd. This word means excessive sweetness, so the correct answer is C. overly sentimental.
In the second excerpt, the word we're looking for is probably half-impaired. Impaired means weakened, or damaged, so the correct answer is A. partially damaged.
In the third excerpt, the unknown word is loth, which means unwilling to do something, so the correct answer is B. reluctant or unwilling.
Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
The answer would be C. flavors :)
