If you refer to the short story “Next Term, We’ll Mash You”
by Penelope Lively, I believe that the correct answer is C. The sportsmanlike
values of the cricket.
In her short story “Next Term, We’ll Mash you”, Penelope
Lively writes about the British educational system (boarding schools), social
class and snobbery field, cruelty of children and indifference of parents to their children
needs with the high point of the story being Charles's (protagonist) miserable
fate at the school. She also writes about these themes in "A House
Unlocked” and "Making It Up".
Do you have options to fill in the blanks
The direct object is "soccer". It is possible to identify the direct object because it tends to inmediately follow the main verb, which is 'play' in this case. Also, a more effective means of identification is by replacing the word with the pronoun 'something'. Thus, if I paraphrase this sentence it will be: Scott and Maria aplay something. Always remember that a direct object is a syntactic element in a sentence, so it usualñy consists of more than one word, in this case the complete direct object would be: soccer with an old ball they found behind the shell.
Some different people sacrifice people as they think it will bring them good luck.
