B) however is the answer

Answer:

The desk was covered with books, the rug was littered with games, and the bed was covered with clothes; <u>however</u>, Sam claimed that his room was not messy.

Explanation:

Transitional words are used to link ideas in a sentence, paragraph, or a text. As the name suggests, they help the speaker/author transition from one idea to another smoothly, even if the ideas are different or opposite.

In the sentence we are studying here, the writer describes a room that is clearly messy to most people's standards. Books, games, and books are carelessly tossed all around. It would be only natural for Sam to agree that the room is far from being neat. However, he does not. We need "however" to make this transition because it connects opposing ideas. The other options, "therefore", "while", and "finally" would not convey this discrepancy between Sam's opinion and reality.

Please i’m begging y’all to help me, the questions are in the picture and the passage is down below.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

1. The shrubs and grassland.

It says in the passage the "To the right were the narrow beaches of the Spanish coastline, its shrubs and grassland burnt down after a long summer." This clearly shows that the summer has been hot as the plants and grasses have been burnt down.

2. Herds of goats, two ragged young goatherds.

Again, the passage says that they were close enough to shore to make out these two features.

3. They got tired

It says in the passage that the dolphins got "tired of its sport" and "turned aside"

4. This one you obviously have to do yourself, but here's an example of how I would put it.

i. He wanted to go further into Morocco to get an adventure

ii. His job (protecting his sister from a rouge), and earning money for the family in the place of his ill father

5. He was not troubled because he had gone on many fishing expeditions as a boy and was used to these rough sea conditions.

6. He wanted to become a sailor when he was a boy. Lempriere lived on the island of Jersey.

7. I don't see any italics. However, most of the time, authors use italics to highlight important ideas or express the main character's thoughts. For example it would be like: "The sea was <em>very</em> rough" or "<em>That's the last supper we are going to get.</em> She thought."

   1. exhilerating - exciting

   2. egnimatical - difficult to understand

   3. endure - last as in lasting during a difficult time

   4. petered out - faded out, became less as in they slowly stopped talking

ii. This again, you might want to do yourself. But here's how I would put it.

These words helped create and convey more vivid images, helping the reader depict exactly how he felt or what he saw.

I hope this was helpful. Sorry it took so long to type out :)
