Answer:
Option B. The significant event that is described in the excerpt is that Jamie loses her best friend.
Explanation:
The excerpt from the story "I am Not Thirteen Yet" written by Amy Bernstein is describing the significant event in the main character's life, where she loses her best friend. As the excerpt begins, the character express how she and her best friend have drifted apart "Lynette stopped inviting me over after school". The character is overhearing a conversation between her friend, Lynette, and another girl, in which they discuss their plans for after school, which involve going to the Ice-cream shop, but it is clear that the main character is not being invited to join the group, which reinforces the concept that she and her friend Lynette are no longer close.
The man had cooked a loaf of bread in the microwave, but when he took it out to eat it, the hard bread hurt his microdont teeth for just a microsecond.
This would be diction. Diction, by definition, the choice and use of words and phrases in a speech or writing. The authors diction determines the tone or mood of the story. For example, if the author described something as being depressing or something like that, it would be a lot more effective and more intense than just sad. I couldn't really come up with a better example than that lol but I hope this helps!
