Because life was boring and basically meaningless
I haven't read the book in two yes but I think it's B
The significance of the dance Harrison did with the ballerina was that Harrison was very graceful, almost too graceful considering his size. Him and the ballerina soared through the air, almost as if they were flying. This part of the story uses many adjectives that all mean 'soared' and this is different from the original style of the story because it is no longer about everyone being the same, but on the gracefulness of Harrison and the ballerina without their handicaps.
I hope this helps! I just read the story in English class a few days ago!
I have found this question online and realized that "ice" should actually be "eyes", which makes more sense with the context of the sentence.
Answer:
The entire absolute phrase in the sentence is "eyes glittering with concentration".
Explanation:
After reading it, we realize that "eyes glittering with concentration" refers to the sentence as whole. That is what makes it an absolute phrase - instead of modifying just one noun, it modifies a whole sentence. In this case, we can imagine Jack moving his cursor while his eyes glitter, showing how focused he is.
Absolute phrases' structure include a noun or a pronoun followed by a participial phrase. For example: hands trembling with nervousness. Notice that "eyes glittering with concentration" follows that structure.
Participial phrases consist of a participle and modifiers. For example: running out of energy.
