Answer: E. They are a conservative and pious community.
Explanation:
The opening description of the men whom were in “sad-colored garments”, “steeple-crowned hats” and “bareheaded” or hooded women simply shows that the characters were in a conservative and pious community.
The introduction to the Puritan society coupled with the "sad-colored garments" and steeple-crowned hats” shows that the community was dour, and judgmental and the community had people who were traditional, conservative and deeply religious.
Therefore, the correct option is E.
There are many conflicts within the novel, but to point out three, they should be major conflicts.
The biggest conflict is between Ralph and Jack. This is an external conflict that exists between two characters. Ralph represents civilization while Jack represents savagery. The resolution to that occurs when the officer arrives just in time. Although it appeared that savagery won out, because of the officer, civilization won by rescuing the boys from killing themselves.
Another conflict was Piggy's conflict of fitting into the tribe. This could either be an internal conflict that he had--knowing that he would never fit in with Jack and the others of his tribe, or it could be looked at as Piggy against the entire hunting tribe of Jack's. That resolution was clear. Roger released the rock that killed Piggy. So Piggy lost.
The last conflict that stands out is Simon's conflict. He represents morals and values and realizes that the "beast" is really within them--not a physical threat somewhere in the forest. His conflict seems to be internal as well--or perhaps like Piggy's it is against all of the boys of Jack's tribe. None of them really seem to understand what the "beast" really is. Only Simon has a full awareness of what is happening on the island. This resolution also has a bad ending. But it is clear. Simon is killed while trying to explain that the "beast" was just a dead man on a mountain. Simon also loses like Piggy did.

I found the complete instructions for the exercise online:
On the night of December 12th, Ms. Shaina Graves slipped on the ice after leaving her son's hockey game at the Fordham Center. The fall resulted in a broken wrist, which has caused Ms. Graves pain and suffering in addition to medical bills totaling $1,085. The Fordham Center should be held responsible for her injury. A spokesperson for the Fordham Center says that the parking lot was salted at 2:00 that afternoon and they could not have predicted the cold temperatures that night. However, weather reports did war of freezing temperatures, and other businesses report salting again in the evening.
How does the author respond to the counterclaim?
A. By illustrating how the injury affected Ms. Graves's ability to work
B. By explaining how salt prevents water from freezing on sidewalks
and parking lots
C. By suggesting that Ms. Graves's injury was caused by slipping on
the ice
D. By showing that other businesses took precautions against
freezing temperatures
Answer:
D. By showing that other businesses took precautions against
freezing temperatures
Explanation:
This is a <u>reading comprehension</u> activity. To complete this exercise, you have to read the text given and then choose the correct option. In this case, it is "D" because Fordham Center's excuse is that they did not know it was going to be freezing in the evening, however, other businesses knew and took precautions.
