Answer:

A. Sod is another name for grass, and it often looks silvery white in the winter.

Explanation:

Robert Louis Stevenson's poem "Winter-Time" paints a picture of an early snowy winter morning scene. The 5 stanza poem is narrated by an unnamed child who got up at dusk to observe the winter scene outside his home.

The given lines <em>"Black are my steps on silver sod; Thick blows my frosty breath abroad"</em> are from the last stanza. Here, the speaker uses the word "sod" to refer to the grasses that appear silver when covered with snow. So, when he stepped on the snow-clad grass, the imprint left is black as compared to the white outlay.

So, if Trent understands what sod means and understand how snow-clad leaves appear silvery, he will best understand the poem's meaning and what the speaker is talking about.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

"The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger" is a story by L. Frank Baum.

The story begins at the palace of the Emerald City, where princess Ozma lives, in the middle of the land of Oz. The lion and the tiger take care of the princess, however, no one ever attacks her or threatens her, as she is loved by everyone. This means that both the lion and the tiger are very bored with their lives and do not feel respected.

This leads them to talk and they decide that they will attack someone just to prove that they should be feared. The tiger decides he wants to eat a baby and the lion decides he wants to tear a person to pieces.

Both cats leave the palace and wander around the streets, until they hear a baby crying. As they turn the corner, they see a baby on its own. The tiger goes over to him, but does not eat him. Instead, he protects it. The mother sees this and runs towards the baby, but falls. The lion then helps the woman up.

Seeing how good they are, the woman thanks them. They go back to the palace and discuss what happened. Although they are both embarrassed by their inability to be scary, they conclude that it is better to be cowardly than to be evil, and to be hungry than to be cruel.

Savatey [412]

Answer: her call to action (as an American social worker and reformer) was to speak up about the harsh environment women/ girls have to work in.

Explanation: It mentions In paragraph 4 that there are no restrictions and a girl of six or seven years just tall enough to reach the bobbins, may work eleven hours by day or by night. She even adds emphasis by saying they do this “while we sleep.” This supports her claim of women’s suffrage by explaining the harshness of allowing a 7 year old girl who can barely reach the bobbins to work 11 hours day or night. It explains the level of insanity and why not only Kelley but us as a whole need to take action.
