Read the passage. excerpt from "A Relay Race to Remember" Sean positioned himself for the dive and then splashed in; in an insta

nt, he was gliding through the water like a dolphin. He put plenty of distance between himself and the Raiders’ swimmer as they turned into the final lap. As Sean came down the stretch, it looked as though the water held out a hand and pulled him down the swim lane. He reached the wall first and immediately looked for his time on the screen. How does the simile "he was gliding through the water like a dolphin" affect the story? It offers Malik's point of view on Sean's swimming and further develops Malik as a character. It provides a complete, if unsatisfying, ending to the story. It develops the theme of the story by making a comparison between how Malik swam and how Sean swam. It injects surprise into the story by making a comparison that conveys how well Sean performs in the race.

The right answer is alternative four.

In the excerpt from "A Relay Race to Remember," the expression "he was gliding through the water like a dolphin" injects surprise into the story by making a comparison between that conveys how well Sean performs in he race. The phrase describes that Sean swims as well as a dolphin, meaning that he executes brilliantly at the race.

The rest of the options are not correct because the remark does not develop Malik's character or depicts how he swims, and it is not the end of the story.

What can the reader most likely infer about the king based on his conversation with the wounded man? (Paragraphs 21-24)
Nutka1998 [239]

Option C shows what we should infer about the conversation between the king and the wounded man, that is, we can see that the king prefers peace and forgiveness to violence.

<h3>Why was the man hurt?</h3>
  • The man wanted to kill the king.
  • He was found by the king's bodyguards, who beat him.

The man was losing a lot of blood through the wounds and would die quickly. However, the king found him halfway and decided to help him, being kind and giving him forgiveness for his actions.

The wounded man began to admire the king, which shows that kindness and forgiveness are more efficient than violence to seal the peace between people.
