Answer:

B) The second sentence implies that the night watchman is stressed and underfed; the first implies that he is gracefully lean.

Explanation:

While the adjective "slender" makes reference to the man's physique, meaning that he has a healthy weight and the characteristics of a slim person, the adjective "gaunt" refers to the deplorable conditions in which the man is. By being "gaunt", he looks malnourished and is probably in an inadecuate pysichological condition.

Read the excerpt from barrio boy by Ernesto Galarza
Marianna [84]

Read the excerpt from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza.

We stayed only one day at the hotel, long enough for me to become acquainted with the bathtub, located in another closet next to the toilet. A rope of water twisted and whirled from a brass faucet, filling the tub. I sat in the cold water up to my neck and discovered that I could slide down the back of the tub and hit the bottom with a great splash. When my water party was interrupted, both the bathroom and I got a scrubbing.

After reading this excerpt, readers can infer that .....

A) Ernesto gets in trouble for his messy splashing

B) Ernesto has sour muscles and needs to soak in cold water

C) The hotel is very expensive because it has a modern bathroom

D) the bathroom is dangerous for a young and inexperience child

Answer:

A) Ernesto gets in trouble for his messy splashing

Explanation:

From the excerpt of <em>Barrio Boy </em>by Ernesto Galarza, the narrator notes his experience when he stayed in a hotel with his parents and he began playing in the bathtub, filling the tub, splashing water, and sliding down.

He notes that he had a lot of fun but he got into trouble for his messy splashing after his party was interrupted.

The reader can infer from this narration that Ernesto gets in trouble for his messy splashing  because when he was discovered, "both the bathroom and I got a scrubbing."
