The night dragged on with an endless, bitterly cold routine of pumping, steering and working
Ipatiy [6.2K]

This question is incomplete. Here´s the complete question.

The night dragged on with an endless, bitterly cold routine of pumping, steering and working  the radio. We were getting no replies to our Mayday Calls - which was not surprising in this  remote corner of the world.

Sue's head had swollen alarmingly; she had two enormous black eyes, and now she showed us  a deep cut on her arm. When I asked why she hadn't made more of her injuries known before  this, she replied, “I didn't want to worry you when you were trying to save us all."

Questions:

1.  How was the night described?

a. Peaceful

b. Enjoyable

c. Agonizing

d. Endurable

2. Mayday Calls refers to

a. International distress

b. International peace

c. International hay

d. International fest

3. Sue comes forth as a girl with firm ___in her parents.

a. disbelief

b. incredulity

C. skepticism

d. conviction

4. What does enormous mean?

a. miniature

b. huge

c. insignificant

d. compressed

Answer:

1.  How was the night described?

c. Agonizing

2. Mayday Calls refers to

a. International distress

3. Sue comes forth as a girl with firm ___in her parents.

d. conviction

4. What does enormous mean?

b. huge

Explanation:

The word "agonizing" refers to something that produces important physical or mental distress, such as the situation described.

A Mayday Call is the international radio distress signal for boats and planes.

Sue shows conviction, meaning a strong belief, on her parents' attempt to save them all.

The word "enormous" refers to something quite large.

klasskru [66]

Answer: Determined

Explanation: Popular does not fit because the paragraph says she has a mixed reputation. Gentle would not fit because this doesn't fit the actions described. Friendly doesn't fit because nothing is stated about her life with friends. Determined fits because she was determined to stand up and help farm workers in the face of discrimination.

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is.
valkas [14]
Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate time in the excerpt. The second sentence is saying that he is in the midst of time/living, and he can "detect how shallow it is," meaning that he is aware that life is short and that the end is inevitable. Thoreau also describes time as being fleeting, but ever-present.
I hope this helps!
