"Goodness gracious! Is that you, Mr. Bumble, sir?" said Mrs. Mann, thrusting her head out of the window in well-affected ecstasi

es of joy. "(Susan, take Oliver and them two brats upstairs, and wash 'em directly.)—My heart alive! Mr. Bumble, how glad I am to see you, sure-ly!"
Now, Mr. Bumble was a fat man, and a choleric; so, instead of responding to this open-hearted salutation in a kindred spirit, he gave the little wicket a tremendous shake, and then bestowed upon it a kick which could have emanated from no leg but a beadle's.

"Lor, only think," said Mrs. Mann, running out,—for the three boys had been removed by this time,—'only think of that! That I should have forgotten that the gate was bolted on the inside, on account of them dear children! Walk in sir; walk in, pray, Mr. Bumble, do, sir."

Although this invitation was accompanied with a curtsey that might have softened the heart of a church-warden, it by no means mollified the beadle.

"Do you think this respectful or proper conduct, Mrs. Mann," inquired Mr. Bumble, grasping his cane, "to keep the parish officers a waiting at your garden-gate, when they come here upon porochial business with the porochial orphans? Are you aweer, Mrs. Mann, that you are, as I may say, a porochial delegate, and a stipendiary?"

What does Mr. Bumble's cane symbolize in the passage?

A. his social ineptitude

B. his extreme insecurity

C. his self-conscious displays of authority

D. his ability to handle difficult situations

I think the cane represents C. HIS SELF-CONSCIOUS DISPLAYS OF AUTHORITY.

Notice that when people using canes are in public, people around them make it a point to make sure that they get out of the way to ensure that the person using a cane will not be hindered. People are more quick to react or help if they find that the person in need is using a cane or is in a wheelchair. 

Majority of people using canes are those who are elderly, thus gaining immediate respect and subservience from others.

The answer is Roots of words

The root of the word "vocabulary" for example is a Latin root meaning word or name.

What are Roots of Words?

  • Root words are also useful for creating new words, especially in technology and medicine, where new innovations occur frequently
  • Because several modern languages share some of the same ancestor languages, it's not entirely uncommon for several related languages to share root words.
  • For instance, the Latin root, described above, is shared by several Romance languages.
  • Understanding the meanings of the common word roots can help us deduce the meanings of new words that we encounter

miskamm [114]

This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

What symbol is described in this excerpt, and what does it represent?

A. the owls, which symbolize knowledge and wisdom.

B. the nest, which symbolizes home and family.

C. the rats, which symbolize cruelty and sadness.

D. the casket, which symbolizes the loss of Doodle.

Answer:

The symbol and its representation is:

D. the casket, which symbolizes the loss of Doodle.

Explanation:

James Hurst was an American novelist born in North Carolina in 1922. He published the short story "The Scarlet Ibis" in 1960.

<u>Doodle is just a little boy but he has an incredibly sad story. He was born with serious health problems, so no one ever thought he would live long. In the passage we are analyzing here, the narrator, who is Doodle's older brother, is showing Doodle his casket. A casket is an obvious representation of death, and quite a strong predictor of what is to come later in the story. Doodle does not accept the casket as his, but it seems that he hasn't got much of a choice. Everyone already expects him to die.</u>
