Answer:

Based on the context clues, penury most likely means:

C) poverty

Explanation:

The word penury refers to a situation of extreme poverty or need, a situation of destitution. But even if we do not know the meaning, we can guess it from the context clues in the passage. Right after mentioning the character had never known such penury before, the narrator explains the character has absolutely no money, no place to go and spend the night, no food to eat. He is actually in the corner of an alley, trying to protect himself from the cold wind with newspapers and boxes to get some sleep. From all those facts, we can safely assume that penury refers to poverty.

(1) My dog Pudgy is a pug. (2) Key to the pug’s distinctive look are its short black muzzle and tightly curled tail. (3) Pugs us
Archy [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The most effective way to vary the sentence patterns in the passage is to begin sentences with different parts of speech. </em>

<em>Option D is the correct answer. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

After reading and observing the passage, it is evident that the word ‘pug’ is repeated in every line. Using the same noun in different sentences that are talking about the same subject, makes the sentence formation clumsy. It can be easily replaced by a pronoun (parts of speech) after its use in the starting sentence. Also, the sentences would sound better.
