The fireflies had arrived, just as my father said they would, and I watched them with my dry lips parted in wonder, my palms sli

ding expectantly on the lap of my dress. I felt like running and greeting them, but they joined me instead. Dozens of tiny blinks materialized, floating.
"I'm Jeliza-Rose," I said, bouncing on my crossed legs. "Hello."
Their flickers indicated understanding: The more I spoke, the more they blinked—or so I believed.
In vain I reached out, attempting to snatch the nearest one, but when I unclenched my fist there was nothing to be seen. After several failed captures, I made myself content by simply naming the fireflies as they flashed.
"You're Michael. You're Ann. Are you Michael again? No, wait, you're Barbie. And that's Chris. There's Michael."
Then the fireflies were gone, having been whisked afield by the wind. I glanced in the direction of the old house, wondering if my father was in the living room, quiet and awaiting my return.

Answer:

C. The audience would know where the father is at the end of the story

Explanation:

I would say this because there is no reason as to why we (the audience) think the narrator is brave for playing with bugs. I do not think we would see it as foolish for the narrator naming the bugs because it do not tell us the narrators age, but we can tell the narrator is a child. From the perspective of the narrator, he/she was not afraid, so they can not be afraid. That leaves us with the only answer, which is C. I'm sorry if the answer is not correct. This is just what i think it is. Again sorry in advanced!

Answer:

C) The audience would know where the father is at the end of the story.

Explanation:

C is the correct answer because in this first person narration the narrator does not know what the father is doing as supported by "I glanced in the direction of the old house, wondering if my father was in the living room, quiet and awaiting my return." but in third person we would be able to see both point of views and we'd know where the father is.

THE AUTHOR DIVERTS THE EMPEROR, AND HIS NOBILITY OF BOTH SEXES, IN A VERY UNCOMMON MANNER—THE DIVERSIONS OF THE COURT OF LILLIPU
Alexxx [7]
I believe the correct answer is pleasant and attentive.
The author is stating in the excerpt that he though he would be getting his freedom back because of his 'gentleness and good behavior.' He wanted everyone around him to feel happy but also to do good things in order to be free again.
