Answer:

D. a person is deciding whether to greet someone with an open hand or a clenched fist.

Explanation:

This question addresses the difference between "figuratively" and "literally." When we describe something "figuratively," we use metaphors, figures of speech and symbolism in order to describe something. Therefore, we are not conveying the <em>exact</em> meaning of what we want to say. On the other hand, when we speak "literally," we state exactly what it is that we want to say, with no metaphorical or symbolic meaning. In this case, if we describe what is <u>literally</u> happening in the poem, we see that a person talks about greeting someone with an open hand or with a clenched fist. However, this might convey a different meaning if read figuratively.

What has happened that has caused the boys to be where they are? Explain your inferences about where they are and what happened
lesya692 [45]

The plane they were flying in was shot down, making it crash into a tropical jungle which caused the boys to be where they are.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A group of school boys were being evacuated from an ugly war in Britain. They were being evacuated by an airplane. While the plane was in air, it was shot down and it crash landed the middle of a tropical forest. According to the text, as the plane crashed, it left a 'scar' on the ground of the forest.

After they crash landed, the boys on the plane were stranded. The boys assemble after one of the boys, Ralph, uses a conch shell to call out other boys. The boys make Ralph their leader who further instructs the boys to hunt for food. Furthermore, he asks boys to make prepare a fire to signal any passing planes and ships. But the boys were more into enjoying their time without the grown ups until they let a large portion of the forest catch fire, which presumably kills a boy. Circumstances make the boys transition from innocent to savage and bloodthirsty children desperate to survive.

Read the sentence. When soccer practice was over, I saw Monica riding a skateboard in the park, so I stopped, and we talked for
IRISSAK [1]

If we look at the part of the sentence "when a football practice was over" we can say that it is a recurring action periodically and it represents a routine, but that's not a phrase because it is stated specifically, what is the issue. "I stopped" also suggests a concrete action, therefore, it's not a phrase, because it explicitly indicates what has been done. What is the phrase in this sentence is a cluster of words without a finite verb, and  having that in mind, the correct answer is "riding a skateboard".
