<span>Based on thу excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams," represented above, I think that the third option from the attached scale clearly shows the meaning of the word priggish. I am pretty sure that obnoxious is the most suitable word to explain the meaning of the whole phrase, but if you are not so sure, check it in dictionary. Do hope it will help you in your homework.</span></span>

Answer:

Dr. Harold West himself greeted each of the incoming freshman personally.

Explanation:

Intensive pronoun adds emphasis to the statement itself. Like what I did now.

Answer:

The answer is B. Andy's discomfort in the cold wilderness.

Explanation:

I know this because I just took the test on edge. Also I know this because if you use process of elimination you would see that A. is not the correct answer because in the passage, Andy did't have any action that would indicate that he wanted to get away from the field. C. is not the answer because the passage said nothing about a hunt. Now D. is not the answer because the passage was mostly about their shock when they got to the barn, and Charlie showed no action of anxiety. <em>Your Welcome. I hope this helped!</em>
