Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the excerpt or answer choices. The complete question is:

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.

One afternoon, after another dreary Sunday, he walked home from Mrs. Cobb's with the sea breeze determined to shove him to Malaga Island. It scooted around him and pulled at his ears. It threw up the dust of the road into his face to turn him around, and when he leaned into it, it suddenly let go and pushed at him from behind, laughing. But with the iron word forbidden tolling like a heavy bell by his ears, Turner would not let himself be brought to Malaga. And so with a last abrupt kick, the sea breeze twisted around and left him. Turner watched it rushing pell-mell down Parker Head and toward the shore. "Go find Lizzie," he whispered.

Based on this excerpt, the reader is able to conclude that Turner feels _______ about his friendship with Lizzie.

conflicted

excited

scared

contented

Answer:

conflicted

Explanation:

The story "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy ," by Gary D. Schmidt, portrays a racial conflict between Phippsburg and Malaga, in which citizens of Malaga Island are put in a mental institution and their homes are destroyed. Since Reverend Buckminster disapproves of his son visiting an unworthy place like Malaga Island, then Turner believes that Lizzie may be using him and his father's influence in order to stay there, instead of trusting her friendship.

What is the verbs and adverbs in this passage please help
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Verbs (in order): believe, yawn, feel, knows, stretches, breathe, rushes, wakes, try, stop, feels, stretching, feels

Adverbs (in order): widely, deeply, thoroughly.

Explanation:

Verbs are action words, meaning a word that someone can be doing like "playing" or "slept."

Adverbs are words used to describe action words, like "slowly" or "loudly."

Some adverbs are repeated throughout the passage so make sure to highlight all of them.

Be careful when choosing which words are adverbs. Some may look like adverbs, but they are actually adjectives, which describe a noun and not a verb. As a hint, most adverbs end with "-ly" as you can see by "widely," "deeply," and "thoroughly."

You can add your own adverbs by finding any of the verbs we found and describing them in anyway you feel suits it best. For example, the sentence:

"When you try to stop a yawn, it feels unsatisfying."

You can add several adverbs to describe the verbs "try" or "stop." Since the verb "feels" already has an adverb, I'd recommend not adding another one.

"When you try to <em>completely</em> stop a yawn, it feels unsatisfying."

"Completely" is the adverb I chose to describe the verb "stop" in this sentence. Another example:

"When you <em>physically</em><em> </em>try to stop a yawn, it feels unsatisfying."

Now the adverb "physically" is used to describe the verb "try." There are many different options so feel free to be as creative as possible! Just make sure it makes sense with the verb you are describing. A bad example is "slowly sleeping" because there is no such thing as sleeping in a slow manner. A good example is "waking up slowly" because this is actually possible and can be imagined.

Answer:

technically no.
