Answer:

brittle

Explanation:

<em>Brittle </em>means hard but liable to break into small pieces or burst.

In the passage from Ray Bradbury's "Farenheit 451," Montag, who feels ill and has temperature, describes his wife as he is lying in bed. Thus, he makes reference to her thin hair, her eyes, lips and body. The reason why he did not feel alright is that previous night, he and his team of firefighters burnt down a woman's house with her books, one of which he stole and hid under his pillow. Besides, Mildred told him that her neighbor Clarisse had been killed and that her family had moved away, which also hurt Montag and now makes him question his job and the reason why books are burnt.

For number 1, your option is correct (B). "Doggedly" is synonymous with "persistent," so "with great determination" matches that.

For number 2, your option is correct (D). "Stoutly" means "strong" and "sturdy," so "solid" would also work.

For number 3, your option is incorrect. The correct answer is B. "Boisterous" and "rowdy" both mean energetic and noisy. Since the children were bouncing off the walls, they were indeed energetic, boisterous, and rowdy.
