Answer:

Trying to understand the feelings of others is a form of courage.

Explanation:

'The Hobbit' is a novel written by J. R. R. Tolkien. The novel is about the quest of Bilbo Baggins.

In Chapter 5, Riddles in the Dark, of book 'The Hobbit', Bilbo met Gollum in the cave. Gollum was a small slimy creature, who lived alone in the caves and preyed upon fish and goblins. Gollum was the master of the invisible ring.

After Bilbo found the invisible ring, he put it on to run away from the cave without being seen by goblins. But Gollum smelled Bilbo and tried to stop his way. At this point, Bilbo, who was invisible, spared Gollum's life, who tried to harm him, because he considered it to be unfair as he was invisible and Gollum without sword. Then he began understand the situtation of Gollum, who lived a miserably alone life in cave, therefore, he leaped over Gollum and left the cave.

This action reveals the theme that trying to understand other's feeling is a form of courage. Therefore, option A is correct.

Read the passage and write a one-paragraph response of at least three to five sentences.

<span>Read the passage and write a one-paragraph response of at least three to five sentences.
A man stood upon a railroad bridge in northern Alabama, looking down into the swift water twenty feet below. The man's hands were behind his back, the wrists bound with a cord. A rope closely encircled his neck. It was attached to a stout cross-timber above his head and the slack fell to the level of his knees. Some loose boards laid upon the sleepers supporting the metals of the railway supplied a footing for him and his executioners-two private soldiers of the Federal army, directed by a sergeant who in civil life may have been a deputy sheriff. At a short remove upon the same temporary platform was an officer in the uniform of his rank, armed. He was a captain. A sentinel at each end of the bridge stood with his rifle in the position known as "support," that is to say, vertical in front of the left shoulder, the hammer resting on the forearm thrown straight across the chest-a formal and unnatural position, enforcing an erect carriage of the body. It did not appear to be the duty of these two men to know what was occurring at the center of the bridge; they merely blockaded the two ends of the foot planking that traversed it.

Beyond one of the sentinels nobody was in sight; the railroad ran straight away into a forest for a hundred yards, then, curving, was lost to view. Doubtless there was an outpost farther along. The other bank of the stream was open ground-a gentle acclivity topped with a stockade of vertical tree trunks, loopholed for rifles, with a single embrasure through which protruded the muzzle of a brass cannon commanding the bridge. Midway of the slope between the bridge and fort were the spectators-a single company of infantry in line, at "parade rest," the butts of the rifles on the ground, the barrels inclining slightly backward against the right shoulder, the hands crossed upon the stock. A lieutenant stood at the right of the line, the point of his sword upon the ground, his left hand resting upon his right. 

Excepting the group of four at the center of the bridge, not a man moved. The company faced the bridge, staring stonily, motionless. The sentinels, facing the banks of the stream, might have been statues to adorn the bridge. The captain stood with folded arms, silent, observing the work of his subordinates, but making no sign. Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him. In the code of military etiquette silence and fixity are forms of deference. 

What has probably happened before this passage begins? Be sure to support your response with at least two examples from the text.</span>

The most prominent one is assonance since the diphthong /ai/ keeps repeating in night, by, fire, fly, but there is also an alliteration between fire and fly.
