1 The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year,

over the down, walking from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose; the snow had piled itself against his shoulders and chest, and added a white crest to the burden he carried. He staggered into the "Coach and Horses" more dead than alive, and flung his portmanteau down. "A fire," he cried, "in the name of human charity! A room and a fire!" He stamped and shook the snow from off himself in the bar, and followed Mrs. Hall into her guest parlour to strike his bargain. And with that much introduction, that and a couple of sovereigns flung upon the table, he took up his quarters in the inn.
What does the term parlour mean in the first paragraph?
A) door
B) kitchen
C) bedroom
D) sitting room

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A parlour is usually a sitting room or a small living room that is located between the entrance and the main part of the house or building. In some instances, a parlour can be larger and serve as a sort of tea room.

Inviting a guest into the parlour was a kind gesture and meant that they were officially a guest in the house.

Which synonym describes the greatest degree of regret? (5 points) Contrite: feeling or showing remorse for a shortcoming Remorse
natulia [17]

Answer:

Repentant: feeling remorse to a degree marked by an extreme change.

Explanation:

The word <em>extreme </em>is a keyword here - it relates to very powerful and strong emotions caused by some kind of a change. Usually, something awful happens, or you do something really negative that affects a lot of other people, and then you feel repentant and wish that hadn't happened at all or that you could change the situation or your actions. The other options do not exhibit the same degree of regret as repentant does.
