One
This is one of those things where you pick the best of a poor lot. He's cautious and anxious. What says that? None of them so you have to pick a secondary characteristic of his. The ending depends on Scrooge being very particular about time and it would give him great pleasure if Bob Cratchet were but a few minutes late. If that's the answer, it must be C, but it is also unfair.
Two
The first one to have a participle is sleeping and eating.
The next one is entertaining (referring to Bruce)
The last one is undercooked.
Participles serve 1 of 2 purposes. They are verbs that act as adjectives or nouns and sometimes as part of a verb phrase. Sleeping and eating are nouns. Entertaining is an adjective referring to Bruce. Undercooked is also an adjective.
Three
As difficult as the first question was, this one could only have one good answer and that is A. Answers like D should not even be a consideration. The last one is possible, but it depends on how it is given. Belle is the best example of the right way but the nephew is not far behind.
Answer:
B - occurence
Explanation:
A synonym for the word phenomenon would be, occurence because it is something that happened.
In Book Eight of The Odyssey, when Odysseus is at the royal court of the Phaeacians, he asks the bard Demodocus to sing a song about Troy. The bard does so, and Odysseus responds by “clutching his flaring sea-blue cape in both powerful hands, [drawing] it over his head and [burying] his handsome face...” It seems that Odysseus is overcome with grief, but he is the one who asked for the song in the first place. It seems like he is crying just so King Alcinous would ask him to tell his story to the assembled crowd. In contrast, in “An Ancient Gesture”, the author provides Penelope’s point of view, weary and plagued by grief. As Penelope unweaves the shroud each night, she “suddenly bursts into tears” because “there is simply nothing else to do”. Penelope has been weaving and unweaving night after night to avoid marrying one of her many suitors while Odysseus has been living with goddesses and enchantresses on his long journey home. The reader is left wondering if Odysseus’s tears in the Odyssey are authentic compared to Penelope’s tears.
In the Odyssey the reader gets to know about Odysseus journey, but not Penelope's experience. Millay supplements this absence, and let the reader know that everybody griefs and goes through pain and difficult times.
