<span>Peter's fidgeting with his pen-knife and Clarissa's use of her scissors during the conversation symbolize that they both have some aggression towards each other and their default way to converse is defensive.
</span><span>The description of Peter's thoughts suggests that he disapproves of Clarissa's lifestyle. --It is clear that Peter does not think Clarissa is doing anything worthwhile, and is judging her actions harshly compared to thinking of himself and his accomplishments very highly. </span>
Okay so you just replace certain words in the sentences with the words in the brackets. For example, in the 2nd question you rewrite the sentence as Looking after animals is *far more* time consuming than looking after children. Hope this helps! :D
Syntax is the format in which words and phrases are arranged to create sentences
Answer:
Unmotivated
Explanation:
It wouldn't really make sense to say he is lazy because the passage says, 'He must've tried it a hundred times.' Which means he put effort in and was simply unsuccessful. There is nothing malevolent about Gregor in the message, so cruel is out. You could say he was hardworking, but since he isn't doing anything but laying in bed at the moment, it doesn't make sense to put that as the answer either, hence through process of elimination, you can assume that he's simply unmotivated as he expresses mild discouragement and disinterest.
Hope this helps :)
