<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The second statement in the given excerpt illustrates that Nicki is a round character. </em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
This is because she is feeling the footsteps of the thugs and also is able to think about their behaviour or character. She can compare their characteristics with the sacks of sugar because it can be bought and sold. She is not indulging into deep thinking by stopping in the woods. Rather she knows and thinks while moving forward and figuring out what to do.
Answer:
Not quite there! :)
Explanation:
"If you have a natural talent like dancing, singing, touching your nose to your tongue or anything you could make someone smile. We all need it this time of the year."
You see, first off; you can't physically touch your nose to your tongue, it should be "Touching your tongue to your nose". :)
I would add in the phrase, "Such as" instead of "Like" to make it ring better!
Next I would change "or anything you could make someone smile" to: "or anything you could use to make someone smile". Using the words "USE" and "TO" help get the meaning across.
"If you have a natural talent such as dancing, singing, touching your tongue to your nose or anything you could use to make someone smile; we can all use it this time of the year."
In this case, it may flow better! :)
