The suitors would not marry his mother.
1. B, comedy (based on the wording in paragraph A) is the most logical.
2. The author used a very detailed simile to describe the penguins and their living environment.
3. D, the wording of the sentence prior the use of the word helps you infer the definition.
4. D, it's a straight up FACT and is stated in the passage.
5. Mr. Popper fed the penguins fish. For example, paragraph C states, "The live fish were specially ordered and were bought all way from the coast in tank cars and glass boxes to 432 Proudfoot Avenue." This shows that penguins eat seafood because in their natural habitat, penguins have to fish for food.
The formatting I used for 5 is called an ACE paragraph (Answer the question, Cite evidence, and Explain your answer) feel free to use it for answering future questions :)
The increasing flood of opium into China was causing all manner of social problems (including corruption with colluding local officials). Attempts by China's rulers to curtail this flood -- while still refusing other forms of trade -- irritated the British. So too did the official Qing position that the British and all other foreigners were vassals and barbarians. As China attempted to shut off the flow of opium, Britain and other trading countries resisted every measure. Conflict became inevitable.
