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.

bixtya [17]

Answer and Explanation:

"Scout's Honor" is a short story by author Edward Irving Wortis. First, let's briefly answer each question. Then, let's put the answers together and form the summary.

Who is the main character?

A nine-year-old boy who is a Boy Scout.

What happens in the story?

He and his two friends who are also Boy Scouts need to go camping alone to move up to Second Class. They decide to camp at a park in New Jersey, but the trip and the camping are a disaster. They fail miserably, but choose to not tell the Scoutmaster about it.

When it happened?

The story as a whole is set in 1946. The specific events take place on a Saturday.

Where it happened?

Bits of the story take place in Brooklyn, on a subway train, and at the park.

Why it happened?

It was a rainy day, which made things more difficult. Also, the boys were proud; they did not want to acknowledge and admit their fears and weaknesses. That is why the whole thing was a disaster.

Summary:

<u>In 1946, a nine-year-old boy and his two best friends are told they should go camping on their own. They are Boy Scouts, and they need to complete the camping task in order to move up a class. The boys live in Brooklyn, and the closest place that resembles the "country" is a park in New Jersey.</u>

<u>One Saturday, the boys take the subway to go to the park where they will camp. This is when things begin to go wrong. They are young, immature, and very proud. Each boy is trying to prove to the others that he is the toughest one in the group. However, they all make mistakes, forget items that should be taken, take items that should be left home, and so on. Besides that, it is raining cats and dogs, so the boys have a hard time setting up a shelter and building a fire. In the end, they are exhausted and afraid. They choose to go back home after their fiasco, but not before swearing not to tell the Scoutmaster about it.</u>
