Answer:

<u>he was confused</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, we are told that, "Anthony awoke to laughing and applauding," in other words, he woke up by an unusual action, "laughing and applauding". This causes Anthony to wonder confusingly what had occurred, which fits in with the definition of the word, "quizzical".

The word quizzical is an adjective that is often used to denote the expression of someone who appears to be confused or amused.

Read the excerpt below from Chris Jacobs' narrative called Everlasting. As you read, think about how Jacobs creates an effective
Tanya [424]
•The prolonged beginning, narrated by a first-grader emphasises how big the world is to children.
•The sentences are long, laced with a lot of punctuation which sounds similar to how young children speak.
• the narrator settled into his ‘frustrated six-year-old silence’ and here, it is emphasised how a six year old communicates when angry, through silence. The author almost mocks this, through the use of sibilance. This proves the worlds ambiguity and how much more the child has to grow.

Here’s a few points to mention, hope it helps:) I’m not sure how old you are, so it may or may not be too complex

You know about Gatsby and Daisy in the past and present-but what about the future? Thinking about all you have learned about the
vesna_86 [32]
Honestly, I don't think Daisy will end up with Tom or Gatsby. Each of them has a flaw that just cannot be ignored enough in a relationship. Tom is too controlling, which is hardly even a relationship at all, and Gatsby, despite his sweetness to her opposite of Tom, wants to do something even more impossible: relive the past, as if the past is a swimming pool to jump harmlessly right back in. What Gatsby is deluding is too good to be true and Tom's personality is too poor to be true, which is why that infatuation will not last very long either.
